The record
Cut for Savoy in late 1955, this date pairs Hank Jones's crisp, Basie-schooled touch with a front line of paired trumpets and flutes -- Byrd and Wilder trading lines against Mann and Richardson's airy doubling. Kenny Clarke's brushwork keeps it light, a lesser-heard corner of Jones's prolific mid-'50s sideman-turned-leader run.
