The record

A crack '59 EmArcy date built around one of the era's most fluid trombone voices, with Art Farmer and Benny Golson lending hard-bop bite alongside the rock-steady Hinton/Johnson rhythm team. Cleveland's tone stays light and agile even as the charts push and swing, a fine showcase for a player better known as a sideman than a leader.
