Terry Gibbs is at his very best fronting a big band, as he often did in the mid-’50s and early ’60s. The 1961 “Explosion” sessions at the Summit in Hollywood find him and his band in top form, with outstanding soloists like Conte Candoli, Bill Perkins, Frank Rosolino, and Richie Kamuca, to name only a few, led by the incredible lead trumpeter Al Porcino.

A well-respected lead trumpeter able to scream high notes during his prime with incredible tone, Al Porcino was a valuable asset to many bands through the years. This book is part of a series by Stuart McLean-Fowler that transcribes every single note from the lead trumpet book of the most influential albums of all time, so you can learn from the best.
