The record
A 1955 Jazztone date pulling top Basie sidemen off the bandstand for a small-group blow, with Frank Wess and Frank Foster's twinned tenors and Joe Newman's brassy lead giving it that unmistakable Basie swing in miniature. Sir Charles Thompson's economical piano and the Jones-Wilson rhythm team keep it lean and riff-driven throughout.
