I Got Rhythm, Live At The Jazz Showcase

• Track Listing

Sir Charles is best known for his historic 1945-47 Apollo recordings with Charlie Parker & Dexter Gordon. A mainstay on New York's dynamic 52nd Street scene in the '40s & '50s, Thompson recorded for Columbia, Vanguard & as a sideman with Coleman Hawkins & Illinois Jacquet. Sir Charles' album "Robbins' Nest - Live at the Jazz Showcase" was applauded by critics for his ability to remain relevant to today, so Delmark went back & got more of this good stuff. Features Eric Schneider on tenor/alto sax & clarinet.
