A Tribute to the Legendary Cornetist by Abbie Brunies with the Halfway House Orchestra is a musical masterpiece that pays homage to the great cornetist. With each track, the listener is transported back in time to the golden age of jazz. The album is a perfect blend of traditional New Orleans jazz and swing, and it showcases Brunies' technical prowess on the cornet.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tin Roof Blues," which features a lively call-and-response between Brunies and the rest of the band. The track is a perfect showcase for Brunies' improvisational skills and his ability to play with nuance and subtlety.
