Benny Golson Sextet: Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Kenny Dorham (trumpet); J.J. Johnson (trombone); Wynton Kelly (piano); Paul Chambers (bass); Max Roach (drums). Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on December 19 & 23, 1957. Originally released on Riverside (256). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Benny Golson's second album as a leader (reissued on CD in the OJC series) is a solid hard bop date featuring the tenorman in a quintet with trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Max Roach. The all-star group performs three Golson originals (none of which really caught on), a pair of Gigi Gryce tunes (best known is "Hymn to the Orient") and the standard "Namely You." Excellent playing on an above-average set that defines the modern mainstream of 1957 jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
