The record
A late-'50s reading of the Gershwin score arranged by guitarist Mundell Lowe, stacking a small-group frontline of Ben Webster, Art Farmer, and Tony Scott against Don Elliott's mellophone and vibes. The double-drums pairing of Osie Johnson and Ed Shaughnessy gives the session an unusually rich rhythmic bed for a chamber-jazz treatment of the material.
