Personnel: George Wallington (piano); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Donald Byrd (trumpet); Art Taylor (drums). Recording information: Cafe Bohemia, New York, NY (09/09/1955). Unknown Contributor Roles: Donald Byrd; Jackie McLean; Paul Chambers; Art Taylor. This live set, although led by pianist George Wallington, is most significant for giving listeners early examples of the playing of trumpeter Donald Byrd and altoist Jackie McLean; bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Taylor complete the quintet. The music, although comprised mostly of group originals (other than "Johnny One Note" and Oscar Pettiford's "Bohemia After Dark"), is essentially a bebop jam and it is particularly interesting to hear just how much McLean was influenced by Charlie Parker at this point (although his sound was already quickly recognizable). This was a solid if short-lived group and their brand of hard bop will be enjoyed by straightahead jazz fans. The CD reissue adds a second version of "Minor March" to the original program. ~ Scott Yanow
