The record
Green's trombone glides through this mid-'50s Bethlehem date with a burnished, singing tone that earned him the "lyrical" tag among horn players of his generation. A tidy chamber-jazz session with Pettiford anchoring the bottom and Danny Bank's reeds coloring the arrangements, it favors warmth and melodic clarity over flash.
