Cozy Cole - Cozy Cole Hits!

Who ever said jazz drummers couldn't rock??

Here we have one of the greatest & wildest drummers, Mr. Cozy Cole himself!

This is a very hard-to-find album, in which figures his best known masterpiece, "Topsy Parts I & II", and a lot of lost treasures.

Every single song starts with a "big" voice introduction, which makes me smile everytime, and of course the Allan Hartwell big band is really heavy.

I wouldn't say it's definitely my favorite jazz album, because it doesn't seem only restricted to that kind of music to me.. it's somethin' like "Big Beat"! Yeah that's it, if you dig that sound!
