構成数 : 1枚
合計収録時間 : 00:38:00
Personnel: Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Barry Harris (piano); Jymie Merritt (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded at Nola Studios, New York, New York on November 12, 1958. Originally released on Riverside (12-290). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Gary Hobish (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Tenor-saxophonist Benny Golson's third recording as a leader was significant in two ways. It was his first opportunity to work with trombonist Curtis Fuller (the two would be members of The Jazztet by 1960) and it was one of his first chances to really stretch out on record as a soloist; up to this point Golson was possibly better known as a composer. Three of the six originals on this CD reissue of a Riverside date are Golson's ("Are You Real" was the closest one to catching on) but the emphasis is on the solos of the leader, Fuller and pianist Barry Harris; bassist Jymie Merritt and drummer Philly Joe Jones are excellent in support. ~ Scott Yanow
