About this album

Mad About Tadd is a thoughtful jazz tribute to Tadd Dameron, balancing arranged precision with a relaxed, swinging feel. Recorded by Continuum and released in 1983, the album turns Dameron favourites such as “Lady Bird”, “If You Could See Me Now” and “Squirrel” into fluent modern interpretations while keeping the lyricism and harmonic richness that made the composer so influential. Rather than treating the material as museum pieces, Continuum gives it fresh momentum and clarity, underlining why Dameron remains one of bebop and beyond’s most admired writers. It is a stylish reminder of how durable his songs are in the hands of a skilled ensemble.
