About this album

Soprano Summit In Concert is a lively celebration of traditional jazz, driven by the close interplay of Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern on soprano saxophone and clarinet. Recorded in 1976, the album finds the duo leading a supple ensemble that includes Marty Grosz, Ray Brown and Jake Hanna, players whose credentials anchor the session in hard-swinging authority. Built around standards and jazz age favourites such as Brother, Can You Spare a Dime and Swing That Music, it shows how post-bop era masters kept pre-war swing language fresh, witty and muscular. The result is both a showcase for virtuoso improvising and a salute to classic small-group jazz.
