The record

Joe Pass adds single-line guitar color to this quartet session, Vinnegar's rolling bass and Jefferson's brushwork keeping the pocket easy. McCann's gospel-soaked chords point toward the wider crossover sound waiting a few years off.

Session personnel

Pressings

A thin file on this one, so buy carefully. The earliest pressing we list is the 1962 US Pacific Jazz mono PJ-56. Stereo appears only as ST-56, logged as a reissue with no year attached, so do not assume a 1962 stereo twin exists on the strength of this page. Europe took it on Fontana 688 126 ZL, the Netherlands in 1963 and the UK in 1964. There is no audiophile reissue and no modern pressing in our data at all.
