Matthew Gee All-Stars: Matthew Gee, Ernie Henry, Joe Knight, Wilbur Ware, Arthur Taylor, Kenny Dorham, Frank Foster, Cecil Payne, John Simmons. Recorded on July 19, 1956. Trombonist Matthew Gee was primarily a section player and a valuable sideman, but as this CD reissue shows, he could have been a significant soloist too. The two sessions (Gee's only two as a leader) feature him in an unusual quintet with altoist Ernie Henry (the trombone-alto blend has a unique sound) and at the head of a septet also including trumpeter Kenny Dorham, tenorman Frank Foster, and baritonist Cecil Payne. The music is quite bop-oriented and mixes together standards with three swinging Gee originals. An underrated and generally overlooked gem by a forgotten trombonist. ~ Scott Yanow
