Throughout the 1950s, cornetist Red Nichols usually utilized a sextet which he called his Five Pennies. On this LP of material taken from sessions for Capitol, Nichols is heard on all but one of the ten numbers with groups having from ten to fourteen pieces. This rendition of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is a true classic, using a brilliant arrangement that investigates the warhorse at three different tempoes; a similar approach given "When the Saints Go Marching In" is much less successful. Other highlights include "Margie," "Ida," "Sweet as Apple Cider," "Avalon" and "Indiana." This important music deserves to be reissued on CD.
