The record
Freddie Green's rhythm guitar carries the Basie stamp straight into this Roost sextet, where Jimmy Cleveland's slide work trades phrases against big-toned, unhurried tenor lines. Roland Hanna sits in on piano already sounding like himself, making this 1956 date a quiet find for late-night spins.
