The Berigan band featured many young jazz players including Georgie Auld on tenor, Joe Dixon on clarinet, Joe Bushkin on piano and Ray Conniff on trombone, but the star was the leader and his matchless trumpet improvisations.  These Thesaurus transcriptions capture the spirit of the group on live dates although they were done in the studio with a very high quality audio . .many tunes are better versions of the ones they did for Victor, but several were never recorded elsewhere!
