This ultra rare 1954 recording of a radio broadcast captures the Boston jazz scene during its halcyon days. Here, two giants of the swing to bop era were caught recorded at the Harvard radio station, namely tenor saxist Jay Migliori (who made his name with Woody Herman) and pianist Dick Twardzik (mostly associated with Chet Baker). They are joined by Johnny Rae/vib, Jack Carter/b and Bob Atcheson/dr (except for the incomplete take of “Blues), and deliver vintage bebop material. Athceson’s drumming lead into a “Night In Tunisia”-inspired take of “Chanticleer” while Migliori’s Getz-inspired tenor sax is totally hip on “Fatty”. The rhythm team has fun with the two stepper “Ryan’s Love” and the vibes team with the ride cymbal for a sizzling “Get Happy”. Twardzik is in rich form for a solo rendition of a deep and shadowed “’Round Midnight” and while the recording is a bit primitive, the playing is timeless. As delicious as a pizza on Hanover Street.
