Still Fresh After All These YearsI must admit that even though I'm a 50's jazz enthusiast I knew nothing about Bob Dorough before picking up this CD.

Overlooking the vocals, "Bravo" is the word I would use for the beatnik musicians who put real jam to jazz. Is there an instrumental version of this album?
