The record
A late-'50s blowing date led by Ellington's high-note trumpet specialist, backed by a crack sideman lineup pulling from the Basie and Ellington books -- Clark Terry, Jimmy Cleveland, Ernie Wilkins among them. Swinging, brass-forward big band jazz cut outside the usual Duke context, letting Anderson stretch as a leader in his own right.
