Liner Note Author: John McDonough . Recording information: Group IV Recording Studio, Hollywood, CA (09/28/1978/09/29/1978). Photographer: Phil Stern. Unknown Contributor Roles: Pete Christlieb; Blue Mitchell. This CD reissue brings back one of Louie Bellson's better small-group dates for Pablo. In addition to the drummer/leader, his septet includes trumpeter Blue Mitchell (still in good form on one of his last recordings), the underrated but great tenor Pete Christlieb, pianist Ross Tompkins, guitarist Bob Bain, bassist Gary Pratt and percussionist Emil Richards. Most intriguing about the date (which mostly sticks to group originals) is that there is a three-song ballad medley comprised not of standards but of Bellson tunes. "Shave Tail" (an older song co-composed by Bellson and Charlie Shavers) is a highlight. ~ Scott Yanow
