Danny D'Imperio has been committed to the revival and revitalization of bebop as it was played in the late 40's and 50's. His groups and recordings are masterful interpretations or recreations of memorable and lesser known works by the giants of bebop and hard bop. Many selections are extended and the total time on this compact disc is over 72 minutes.
