Fav Tram solo

by

I agree about "Man I Love". My liner notes for "Tram vol.1" indicate Bee Palmer to be the vocalist? If so, she's much more restrained than on "Don't Leave Me Daddy" and "Singin' the Blues". The music is pitched so low she barely makes the lowest notes. I find Ferde Grofe's arrangement a little frantic. I've always preferred Bill Challis' arrangements.
My candidate, from many Tram solos I love, is "Let's Do It". The whole track is great beginning to end and Tram's solo work to quote the notes "has just the right insouciance" for this great Cole Porter classic.
