合計収録時間 : 00:49:00
Personnel: Lester Young (tenor saxophone), Oscar Peterson (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), J.C. Heard (drums). Additional personnel on jam session: Benny Carter, Willie Smith (alto saxophones), Ben Webster, Flip Phillips (tenor saxophones), Charlie Shavers, Roy Eldridge (trumpets), Bill Harris (trombone), Gene Krupa (drums). Recorded at Bushnell Memorial Auditorium, Hartford, Connecticut, May 1953. Includes liner notes by Norman Granz. This CD has some typically exciting performances from Norman Granz's traveling jam session Jazz at the Philharmonic. Actually the JATP All-Stars (trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Roy Eldridge, trombonist Bill Harris, Ben Webster and Flip Phillips on tenors, altoists Benny Carter and Willie Smith, the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer Gene Krupa) only appear on one song, an enjoyable 15-minute version of "Cotton Tail." The Oscar Peterson Quartet (with guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer J.C. Heard) are in excellent form on four selections (including a burning "7 Come 11") and tenor-great Lester Young (accompanied by Peterson's group) shows on three numbers that he was still very much in his prime in 1953. Fans of swinging jazz will want this colorful music, which was released for the first time in 1984 on Pablo (and does not duplicate any of the Verve sets). ~ Scott Yanow
