When he comes down front to do solos on the ballads, he is still big and fat on the ballads.
Listen to "Warm Velvet" on the "Swing Shift" CD, a tune written for him by Allyn Ferguson. Great ballad work, then listen to "Four For Basie" on the same CD. All four trumpet players take 24 bars up tempo.
Great player
