Overall, the vibe is upbeat and fun. There are a couple tracks that include the vocals of Annie De Reuver, and that adds a nice dimension to the pace of the album. Coleman Hawkins really delivers on his solos and makes excellent use of his time. Inventive, witty and soulful chorus' all the way through.
The recording itself is really quite excellent considering its age, 1935 & 37. My LP is actually NM but there is analog noise throughout - this is there from the transfers that Decca performed. Frankly, it's the last thing you will be thinking about once you click play. I ripped this at 24/48 wav and transferred to 24/48 FLAC... enjoy!!!
