The record
Tenor veteran Budd Johnson leads a deep-bench rhythm crew -- Hank Jones, Milt Hinton, Osie Johnson, twin guitars from Burrell and Barksdale -- through a session lightened by Joe Venuto's vibes and marimba. A swinging early-'60s Argo date that shows Johnson's Basie-era roots easing into a breezier, small-combo groove.
