Pony Poindexter’s tune, “Gumbo Filet (Sic)” from his 1963 LP: Gumbo! Featuring Poindexter on Soprano Sax, Booker Ervin on Tenor Sax, Guido Mahones on Piano; George Tucker on Bass; Jimmie Smith on Drums. What’s better the day after Thanksgiving than turkey gumbo and to make that, like chicken gumbo, instead of okra for thickening you use what is called Gumbo File’ (not “Filet”), which is ground sassafras leaves. “Wouldn't It Be Loverly,” the Lerner and Loewe song from the 1956 Broadway musical: My Fair Lady, recorded by the Washington, DC-based singer and pianist Shirley Horn on her 1963 LP: Shirley Horn With Horns, arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones, featuring Bobby Scott on Piano. “Tasty Dish” comes from the flautist extraordinaire’s 1958 ample album: Buddy Collette’s Swinging Shepherds, with Bud Shank, Paul Horn and Harry Klee on Flute along with the accomplished Mr. Collette, as well as Bill Miller on Piano, Joe Comfort on Bass and Bill Richmond on Drums. “The Lady Is a Tramp” from the 1937 Broadway musical: Babes in Arms, which appears on the 1957 recording: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers and Hart Songbook, arranged and conducted by Buddy Bregman, featuring the late Paul Smith on Piano, with Bob Cooper on Clarinet and Tenor Sax; Bud Shank on Clarinet, Flute, Alto and Soprano Saxes; Ted Nash on Clarinet, Flute, Tenor and Soprano Saxes; Maynard Ferguson, Pete Candoli, Conrad Gozzo and Ray Linn on Trumpets; Vincent DeRosa on French Horn; Barney Kessel on Electric Guitar; Corky Hale on Harp; Joe Mondragon on String Bass and Alvin Stoller on Drums. We thought this would be appropriate to the day, even if the lady in question prefers Mulligan stew to turkey. The medley of “Invitation to a Luau,” “Sweet and Sour” and “Mamola by Moonlight” composed by Boudleaux Bryant and recorded by the Steel Guitar master Jerry Byrd with The Mexico City Symphony Orchestra on Byrd’s landmark 1969 album: Polynesian Suite.
