Lucky Thompson (1924-2005) has probably been the most underratedtenorist of his generation. After an active period in both the New York and LosAngeles scenes during the Forties, his career began to suffer all kind of inand outs, and from 1949 up to 1954 Luckys name rarely appeared on jazz clubmarquees. Fortunately, since that year the unlucky Lucky Thompson wouldtemporarily find what he was looking for. Lucky described the sessions at handas the first I got the freedom and the men I desired.

Here he blows his heart out in one of the most sustained examples ofcreative, soulful improvisation ever recorded. It is a hard-swinging setpowered by Luckys big tone and beautifully built ideas, featuring the strengthand driving pulse of Oscar Pettifords bass.
