The record
Buddy Tate's tenor and Buck Clayton's trumpet trade the lead across six tunes for Swingville, with Sir Charles Thompson at the piano and Gene Ramey and Mousey Alexander keeping the time unhurried. Rudy Van Gelder engineered. 'Birdland Betty' and 'Kansas City Nights' sit alongside 'Thou Swell' and 'Can't We Be Friends' -- music that never once raises its voice.
