Love it...
I hadn't heard any Red Rodney recordings before this. I love it!
Two underrated jazzers in excellent voice.
Great band playing great music in great sound. Ira Sullivan amazes as always with his multi-instrumentalism (I'm pretty sure I heard him also make an uncredited appearance on trumpet here.) Recommended.

Amazing!
I have not been a follower of Red Rodney but I am very glad I bought this. The recording is great and the music is highly enjoyable.
My Favorite HDTT Release Yet
Five stars for recording quality and performance. I was unaware of this record and had thought Rodney faded with bebop. Those flourishes are still there, but he evolved. Magnificent tone and expression. This is among the best-sounding recordings I have, at least on my rig, and I have thousands of recordings. Highly recommended.
