Creole Cookin'
Creole Cookin', is an album by cornetist Bobby Hackett which was released on the Verve label in 1967.
Critical reception
Scott Yanow of AllMusic called it "one of his finest all-around recordings" and states: "The cornetist is featured on 11 Dixieland standards and joined by a 15-piece all-star band arranged by Bob Wilber; Wilber and tenor great Zoot Sims also receive some solo space on this essential release".
