“This all-star cast of 16 is, it so happens, evenly divided between the quick and the dead, and it still hurts to call the honor roll: Kenny Davern, Tony De Nicola, Milt Hinton, Jack Lesberg, Flip Phillips, Bobby Rosengarden, Ralph Sutton, George Van Eps. But once the music gets to you--and that comes quickly--you’are just glad that it’s been preserved.”
