Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Bennie Green (trombone); Eric Dixon (tenor saxophone); Lloyd Mayers (piano); Billy Gene English (drums). Liner Note Author: Ira Gitler. Recording information: New Jersey (06/29/1956). The third of Bennie Green's three Prestige albums from 1955-1956 features the personable trombonist in a quintet with the young tenor-saxophonist Eric Dixon (here showing a strong Paul Gonsalves influence), and an obscure but swinging rhythm section (composed of pianist Lloyd Mayers, bassist Sonny Wellesley, and drummer Bill English). The solos are colorful if occasionally stumbling, and the arrangements of the four standards and Green's "East of the Little Big Horn" have their share of surprises; "Walkin'" and "The Things We Did Last Summer" are taken at two different tempos while "It's You or No One," normally a ballad, really cooks. ~ Scott Yanow
