Personnel: Phil Woods (alto saxophone); Donald Byrd (trumpet); Al Haig (piano); Teddy Kotick (bass); Charlie Persip (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on November 2, 1956. Originally released on Prestige (7080). For this early hard bop date, altoist Phil Woods and trumpeter Donald Byrd were co-leaders. In fact, the music had at one point earlier on been released with Byrd getting first billing. Since the spirited altoist contributed four of the six tunes (including "House of Chan" and "In Walked George") and consistently takes solo honors, it is only right that the date finally appeared under Woods' name. With pianist Al Haig (who did not record that extensively during this period), bassist Teddy Kotick, and drummer Charlie Persip offering stimulating accompaniment, this is an easily recommended release (despite its brief LP length) for straight-ahead jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
