Digitally remastered two-fer from the Jazz great includes two albums from the famed trombonist on one disc: The Street Swingers (1957) and The Dual Role Of Bob Brookmeyer (1954). The Street Swingers features Brookmeyer on both trombone and piano, backed by Jimmy Raney and Jim Hall. As a bonus, the complete original LP The Dual Role of Bob Brookmeyer, which was also recorded in a small group format and presents Raney again on guitar and Brookmeyer in the dual role of trombonist and pianist. 14 tracks. Lonehill. 2009. Review by Scott Yanow Valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer (who also plays some piano on this long out-of-print Pacific Jazz LP) teams up with guitarists Jim Hall and Jimmy Raney, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Osie Johnson for six group originals. The tunes are fairly basic and all of the cool-toned musicians are up-to-par on the lightly swinging material.
