Bobby Hackett - 1985 What A Wonderful World
One of Hackett's last studio albums, the cornetist is heard in fine form with three different units ranging from seven to 15 pieces. Teresa Brewer's three vocals are typically unfortunate but Hackett, trombonist Vic Dickenson and clarinetist Johnny Mince keep the music (dominated by Dixieland standards) swinging.
