& The Four Brass Giants. Personnel: Budd Johnson (tenor saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet, flugelhorn); Ray Nance (trumpet, violin); Harry "Sweets" Edison, Nat Adderley (trumpet); Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Jones (piano); Joe Benjamin (bass); Herb Lovelle (drums). Recorded at Plaza Sound Studios, New York, New York on August 22 and September 6, 1960. Originally released on Riverside (9343). Includes liner notes by Chris Albertson. Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1999, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This reissue of a Riverside album, which surprisingly has not yet come out on CD, is a classic. The great Budd Johnson, who takes tenor solos throughout the date and also contributes a bit of clarinet in addition to providing the arrangements, is matched with four distinctive and very different trumpeters: Clark Terry, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Nat Adderley and Ray Nance (who doubles on violin). With Tommy Flanagan or Jimmy Jones on piano, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Herb Lovelle, the group performs four swing standards and four of Johnson's swinging originals. The colorful brassmen, Budd's versatile solos, and the inventive arrangements make this a particularly memorable set. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
