Rare work from obscure Chicago tenor player Vito Price -- recorded back in the days when there actually used to be a jazz scene in the loop! Price moved to Chicago in the mid 50s, and is typical of the white players in the city who were able to shift between club work and better-paying union gigs for TV and radio stations. The groove here isn't totally hard, but there's some nice moments, with kind of a Basie-esque flair. Titles include "Credo", "Eye Strain", "Swingin The Loop", "Mousey's Tune", and "Duddy".
