The record

George Coleman's tenor and Virgil Jones' trumpet give Harold Mabern's date a front line with real weight, and the program ranges wide -- 'Too Busy Thinking About My Baby' next to 'Blues For Phineas' and 'Waltzing Westward.' Buster Williams and Leo Morris are the rhythm team. Prestige PRST 7687, 1969, produced by Bob Porter, notes by Ed Williams.
