1991 recording of Franz with Jim Beebe's Chicago Jazz. A really nice selection of traditional and swing jazz tunes including "High Society", "Apex Blues", and "Sophisticated Lady" as well as Franz's signature sign-off "Huff and Puff". Trombonist Jim Beebe featured Franz as his band's guest artist on this album to showcase him as "the total jazz musician" says Beebe.
