Shelly Manne & His Men - Swinging Sounds In Stereo
Shelly Manne’s Swinging Sounds in Stereo captures the essence of West Coast jazz at its most refined. Recorded in the late 1950s for Contemporary Records, the album features Manne’s working quintet: Stu Williamson on trumpet and valve trombone, Charlie Mariano on alto saxophone, Russ Freeman on piano, and Leroy Vinnegar on bass. Together, they deliver a clean, balanced sound that reflects both the discipline of the swing era and the sophistication of modern jazz.
