The record
West Coast piano trio dates fleshed out with Bill Perkins on select tracks, cycling through shifting lineups over three March sessions to test what Jolly's light, swinging touch could carry alone versus in company. A tidy snapshot of mid-'50s California jazz craft, with Buddy Clark anchoring throughout and drum duties split between Art Mardigan and Mel Lewis.
