Turn Me Loose! by Frank Rosolino released on Reprise in 1961
David Rickett wrote for All About Jazz
"Those only familiar with Frank Rosolino’s trombone work may be surprised to find out that he also dabbled in vocals as well. Rosolino was highly regarded as a trombonist, especially on the West Coast scene, but seldom recorded as a leader; Free For All on the Specialty label is probably his best known work. Turn Me Loose features Rosolino doing double duty as soloist and vocalist, a la Chet Baker, and one could judge solely by the cover that this is an entertaining record by a man who is marching to the beat of a different drummer...An unusual album that is a welcome antidote to those who think that jazz is always serious business."
