Ed Frank made great music on piano, even tough he only had one arm to use. He was in Dave Bartholomew's early Jump Blues and Rock'Roll dance band. He played Traditional Jazz too, as well as Post WWII Jazz. On this JUMP JAZZ cd, he plays with some of the best of his generation. I love this two-band cd. Its contents are jewels snatched from time.
