Personnel: Doug Watkins (bass); Hugh Lawson, Herman Wright, Lex Humphries, Yusef Lateef. Recorded on May 17, 1960. Personnel: Doug Watkins (cello); Yusef Lateef (flute, oboe, tenor saxophone); Hugh Lawson (piano); Lex Humphries (drums). Liner Note Authors: Mark Gardner ; Ira Gitler. Recording information: Englewood Cliffs, NJ (05/17/1960); Nj (05/17/1960). Photographer: Esmond Edwards. Unknown Contributor Roles: Herman Wright; Hugh Lawson; Lex Humphries. Bassist Doug Watkins only led two recording sessions before his death in 1962, and this set (which was cut for New Jazz and reissued on CD in the OJC series) has sometimes appeared under Yusef Lateef's name. Watkins doubles on cello (an instrument he had reportedly only begun playing three days earlier) during the set with Lateef (who triples on tenor, flute, and oboe), pianist Hugh Lawson, bassist Herman Wright, and drummer Lex Humphries. The quintet performs three standards, Watkins' "Andre's Bag," and a couple of Lateef tunes. The use of oboe and cello on some numbers makes the date stand out a bit from the usual hard bop sessions of the period and straight-ahead jazz fans will want to get this CD. ~ Scott Yanow
