Two former LPs by big bands led by bassist Oscar Pettiford (who doubles on cello) are reissued in full on this single CD. The arrangements by Gigi Gryce, Lucky Thompson, and Benny Golson feature a lot of concise solos, an inventive use of the harp (either by Janet Putnam or Betty Glamann), and colorful ensembles. Among the many soloists are trumpeter Art Farmer, trombonists Jimmy Cleveland and Al Grey, the French horn of Julius Watkins, the tenors of Thompson or Golson, and the bassist-leader. This formerly rare music is highly recommended to straight-ahead jazz fans, for it is full of fresh material and subtle surprises. ~ Scott Yanow

Personnel includes: Oscar Pettiford (cello, acoustic bass); Lucky Thompson (tenor saxophone); Ernie Royal, Art Farmer (trumpet); Jimmy Cleveland (trombone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Gus Johnson (drums).

Deep Passion Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars a hard to find gem
This is big band at its best. My father had this album on vinyl. The version of Laura is the first version I heard of this song. The arrangements are top of the line and the harp adds a special touch. Definitely a distict tone.
