(Not a cut-out.)

Debut of a Legend, by Johnny Frigo, is his definitive set, even though he was 77 at the time. With a good supporting cast (guitarist Gene Bertoncini, Bob Kindred on tenor and clarinet, pianist Joe Vito, bassist Michael Moore, and drummer Bill Goodwin), Frigo mostly explores standards, plus two of his originals. The music, falling between swing and bop, is superior straight-ahead jazz; among the highlights are Get Happy, Bow Jest, Jitterbug Waltz, and Jeannine. Frigo's sudden prominence in his '70s (considering he spent most of his career as a bassist) was as unlikely and welcome an event as trumpeter Doc Cheatham's late-period triumphs.

• Our used records are play-tested in their entirety and rated accordingly. We DO NOT necessarily make note of, or take into consideration, any visual imperfections that do not affect the sound while being played on our record players (your record player may give slightly different results). If you would like a visual description of the vinyl itself, please ask, and we will be happy to provide one for you.
