The record
A tight, swinging session cut for Vanguard's early jazz series, with Sir Charles Thompson's crisp keyboard touch anchoring a horn front line of Joe Newman, Benny Powell, and the wonderfully tart Pete Brown. Mainstream swing-to-bop era craftsmanship, built for dancers and listeners alike.
