2 LP's on 1 CD. Personnel: Charles Wallington (piano); Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Curly Russell (bass); Max Roach (drums). Recorded in September 1952 and May 1953. Originally released on Presige (158/136). Includes original liner notes by Ira Gitler and Bill Cross. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley). Originally released as a pair of 10" Prestige albums, this CD reissue features the talented bop-oriented pianist George Wallington in trios with either Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, or Curly Russell on bass plus drummer Max Roach; guitarist Chuck Wayne sits in on mandola on "Love Beat." The 15 songs include concise interpretations of ten of Wallington's originals and it seems strange that latter-day jazz musicians have yet to really explore his inventive tunes. This is one of the best showcases ever of Wallington's playing and writing talents. ~ Scott Yanow
