Reference: FSRCD1635

This was the first album the man who plays like the wind didas a leader. On four of the numbers he fronted a septet with Nat Pierce onpiano. Soloists Benny Green and Emmett Berry are excellent, but if one hornmanespecially excels here is tenor Lucky Thompson, one of the most unjustlyneglected artists in jazz. On the two magnificently robust takes of Shoe ShineBoy, the guest pianist is Count Basie, thereby reuniting, for the first time ineight years, what was the greatest rhythm section in jazz. On Caravan, therewere some changes on the line-up of the septet, but throughout all the sides,the uniting personality is Jo, a master of

flowingly musical jazz drumming.
