Personnel: George Wallington (piano); Phil Woods (alto saxophone); Donald Byrd (trumpet); Teddy Kotick (bass); Art Taylor (drums). Recorded in Hackensack, New Jersey on January 20, 1956. Originally released on Prestige (7032). During 1956-57 trumpeter Donald Byrd and altoist Phil Woods (both important up-and-coming players at the time) were regular members of pianist George Wallington's quintet. For this CD reissue, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Art Taylor complete the group on a program that includes three standards ("Our Delight," "Our Love Is Here to Stay" and "What's New"), a pair of Woods originals ("Together We Wail" and "But George") and Frank Foster's "Foster Dulles." The music falls between bebop and hard bop with Woods sounding quite strong while Byrd comes across as a promising (but not yet mature) youngster. A fine example of this somewhat forgotten but talented group, easily recommended to bop collectors.
