Chicago-bornpianist Junior Mance first came to prominence with Gene Ammons and Lester Youngin the late Forties and consolidated his place at the top table touring andrecording with Dinah Washington, the Cannonball Adderley Quintet and the DizzyGillespie Quintet in the Fifties.

By the timehe formed his own trio in 1961 he had evolved into one of the most compelling,joy-generating performers of the groove-funk-soul-plus-neo-bop school, amplysignalled on \"The Soulful Piano of Junior Mance.\"

Later, on\"Big Chief!,\" he proved this to be only a partially valid designation,projecting a variety of moods and spicing his work with distinctive chordvoicings and a much lighter touch than that of most of soul-pianists,especially in his sensitive exploration of Sara Casseys exquisiteimpressionistic composition, The Seasons.

The secondCD on this set contains mostly live performances, including his trio album,\"At the Village Vanguard,\" and five tracks from broadcasts recordedduring the trios frequent 1961 engagements at Birdland.

Throughouthis work in this collection Junior Mance stands as a particularly pleasurableexample of a generation of bop pianists, one wholike Bobby Timmons, Ray Bryantand the great Wynton Kellycombined the innovations of bop with a firm groundingin the timeless verities of the blues.
