Jim Stack

Jazz for a Summer's Day

Jim Stack and Friends Special Guest: Loonis McGlohon. Jim is an interesting man. He was trained as a scientist and worked on the early US Space programs, including the first landing on the moon. In the 1970's he retired from that job and made music his vocation. Jim's harmonic sophistication was learned from one of his early mentors, the great Clare Fischer. Equally adept at the vibraphone as the piano, Jim also knows talent when he sees it. For this recording he has enlisted the services of the easy-to-love Doug Henry on tenor saxophone as well as his old friend, Loonis McGlohon. Loonis was the king of music in North Carolina until his death only a month after the completion of this recording. There is something just plain likeable about this recording. It's sweet, it's innocent, and it swings. It's beautiful, it's accessible, it's jazz.
