"Recorded around the time Art Hodes was hosting a TV series called JAZZ ALLEY, the pianist teamed up with a quartet made up of veterans from the Chicago and New Orleans scenes for a tight night at the Emporium of Jazz in Mendota, Minnesota on October 19th, 1968. The set features Raymond Burke (clarinet), Jim Beebe (trombone), George "Pops" Foster (bass) and Tom Andrews (drums), and shows the 64-year-old Hodes in top condition, displaying fantastic dexterity with the keys.
