Trigger Happy! is the sole album led by American jazz double bassist
Trigger Alpert which was recorded in 1956 for the
Riverside label.[2] The album was also issued under
Zoot SimsAl Cohn and
Tony Scott's names as East Coast Sounds.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the East Coast Sounds album 4 stars with Ken Dryden stating "Zoot Sims and Al Cohn made many records together in small-group settings, but this isn't one of their better-known dates, though it is a rewarding one... Recommended".[1] The British Gramophone magazine's review from 1958 called it "a session that presents first-class soloists within settings that are witty as well as intelligent. The mood is gay rather than profound, the approach formal and not at all intense".[3]
