The record
Early-'50s Regent date catching J.J. Johnson mid-decade with a sharp front line of Howard McGhee's trumpet and Rudy Williams' tenor, anchored by Oscar Pettiford's bass. A snapshot of bebop's trombone innovator working small-group hard-swinging territory just before his Blue Note and Savoy sides deepened his reputation.
