Personnel: Arnett Cobb (tenor saxophone); Buster Cooper (trombone); Austin Mitchell (organ); George Duvivier (bass); Osie Johnson (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on February 27, 1959. Originally released on Prestige (7184). Includes liner notes by Chris Albertson. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1995, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This CD reissue brings back a typically swinging date by tenor saxophonist Arnett Cobb. The colorful trombonist Buster Cooper (who was not featured in enough small group sessions through the years) seems to inspire Cobb; the rhythm section (organist Austin Mitchell, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Osie Johnson) proves a strong asset for this music. Four standards (three from the swing era plus Cobb's "Smooth Sailing") alternate with a blues and a couple of up-tempo riff numbers. Arnett Cobb's solos are typically emotional and generally exciting during the fine set. ~ Scott Yanow
