The record
A tidy mid-'50s Decca date pairing Quinichette's smoky, Lester Young-inflected tenor against Frank Foster's sharper edge, with Joe Newman and Bennie Green filling out a compact horn front line. Hank Jones and Kenny Clarke anchor the rhythm section with the kind of unfussy swing that made small-group sessions like this so durable.
