Legendary bebop singer Joe Carroll had not recorded for mostof the late Fifties, but when he finally returned in the early Sixties he didso with a solid pulse and a happy feeling on these two sessions for the CharlieParker label, recently launched by Doris Parker, Bird’s widow and owner of hisestate. On the resulting album, “Man with a Happy Sound” (1962), he was backedby an exuberant trio led by organist Specs Williams, with Connie Lester, tenorsax, Lee Ainsley, drums, and featuring the young guitarist Grant Green on fiveof the tracks. The album includes some of the tunes that the singer made famouswhile he was with Dizzy Gillespie during the late Forties and early Fifties, aswell as some fine new material.

A year before this album was released though, Joe Carrollhad recorded two sides for the same label—Anthropology and Hi-Fly—backed bysuch notables as Duke Jordan, Clark Terry and Cecil Payne, and featuring someduets with Payne. For Joe, the release of this single was his chance to “do athing with some good cats and let everybody stretch out a little”—and thissingle eventually led him to put together the selections and musicians thatmake up “Man with a Happy Sound.”
