The record
Recorded late in 1957, this date pairs the leader's swing with a stacked horn section on loan from the Ellington and Basie camps -- Carney's baritone, Gonsalves' tenor, Hodges' alto giving the charts real heft. Argo rarely fielded a band this deep, and the writing favors bright, blues-inflected ensemble work over solo turns.
