Personnel: Howard McGhee (trumpet); Teddy Edwards (tenor saxophone); Art Hillery (piano); Billy Higgins (drums). Audio Mixer: Ole Hansen. Liner Note Author: Mark Gardner . Recording information: Sprectrum Studio, Venice, CA (10/04/1979/10/05/1979). Photographer: Lars Johansen. Originating from the same recording sessions (trumpeter Howard McGhee's last) that resulted in its superior companion Young at Heart, this set is a bit of a disappointment. McGhee, tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Art Hillery, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Billy Higgins all sounded fine on the other record but this album sticks exclusively to ballads and the results are dragging and a bit dreary. The renditions of such songs as "I Want to Talk About You," "I Remember Clifford" and John Coltrane's "Crescent" do not even come close to comparing with more definitive earlier versions and the musicians sound a bit tired. Skip this set and get Young at Heart (and some of Howard McGhee's earlier albums) instead. ~ Scott Yanow
