Big Brass


Big Brass is an album by trumpeter Benny Bailey featuring performances recorded in late 1960 and originally released on the Candid label.

Reception

Ken Dryden of Allmusic says, "Big Brass marks one of trumpeter Benny Bailey's earliest efforts as a leader, but it is also one of the best releases of his career....The entire session has a relaxed air, as if old friends got together to play some well-rehearsed material, so it is warmly recommended".
