Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on October 4, 1955. Originally released on Prestige (7021). Includes liner notes by Ira Gitler. Digitally remastered by Gary Hobish (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Elmo Hope (piano); Frank Foster (tenor saxophone); Freeman Lee (trumpet); Art Taylor (drums). Audio Remasterer: Gary Hobish. Liner Note Author: Ira Gitler. Recording information: Hackensack, NJ (10/04/1955); New Jersey (10/04/1955). Unknown Contributor Roles: Elmo Hope Quartet; Elmo Hope Quintet; Freeman Lee; John Ore; Art Taylor. This decent bop session features tenor-saxophonist Frank Foster and pianist Elmo Hope in a quintet with the forgotten trumpeter Freeman Lee (who is on three of the six songs), bassist John Ore and drummer Art Taylor. They perform three of Hope's originals, two by Foster and an uptempo version of "Georgia on My Mind." None of the originals caught on (when was the last time anyone played "Fosterity"?) and nothing that innovative occurs but the music should please bop fans. ~ Scott Yanow
