The record
A tight mid-'50s date led by trumpeter Nick Travis, with Al Cohn's tenor lending easy, swinging counterpoint over John Williams, Teddy Kotick, and Art Mardigan's crisp rhythm work. A lesser-known corner of RCA's jazz catalog, it captures the relaxed, blowing-session ethos of New York's cool-toned mainstream in 1954.
