Known informally as "the Biggest Little Band in the Land," the John Kirby Sextet may be more accurately described as "the biggest little chamber ensemble in the world." The band's arrangements, mostly provided by trumpeter Charlie Shavers, feature an almost baroque quality to their interweaving, chromatic melody lines and softly textured harmony. Even their treatment of the old Dixieland warhorse Royal Garden Blues is not immune to this delightful treatment. Instrumentation: Clarinet; Alto Saxophone; Trumpet; Piano; Bass and Drums.
