Danny Barker - New Orleans Jazz Man & Raconteur (CD)

(2-CD set) This 34 song collection covers a large part of Danny's recording career from the early 1940s to the late 1980s. Danny was a versatile musician, comfortable in a big band, small group of any size and, uniquely, as solo artist. During the late 50s he billed himself as a one man band, working as sort of a calypso singer. Most of his many facets are covered on this compilation.
