The record
A Basie-rhythm-section date built around vibes and flute -- Frank Wess doubling on the latter for extra cushion -- with Hank Jones' typically elegant comping anchoring the June 1960 session. Winchester's mallets have a clean, unhurried swing that made his short run of dates a quiet highlight of the era's vibraphone lineage.
