Teen Drums is a great album. My favorite track has to be "I Dig" with improvised sax solos by none other than Plas Johnson!!!

I'm sure Les approached this album professionally but with a "tongue in cheek" emphasis on percussion and improvisation. This was probably the closest Les wanted to get to a rock-n-roll album because he really despised the genre.

Still "Classic" Les Baxter! :)

Cheers and Mahalo,
Jeff
