    Personnel: Howard McGhee (trumpet), George Coleman (tenor saxophone), Junior Mance (piano), George Tucker (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums).
    Recorded at Stea-Phillips Studios, New York City on December 8th, 1961.
    Includes liner notes by Alun Morgan.
    Trumpeter Howard McGhee had a bit of a renaissance in the early '60s before slipping back into obscurity. This formerly rare session (reissued on CD by Black Lion) has eight selections (plus four previously unreleased alternate takes) by a quintet featuring McGhee, tenor saxophonist George Coleman, pianist Junior Mance, bassist George Tucker and drummer Jimmy Cobb. The trumpeter wrote arrangements for all of the songs (four of which were his originals) and the writing makes the band sound like a regularly working group rather than having the feel of a loose jam session. McGhee's style, although a bit calmer than he often sounded in his heyday in the 1940s, was still quite boppish and his distinctive crisp sound was unchanged. Fine swinging music. ~ Scott Yanow
