When these recordings were made IN 1955, Cy Touff had been sitting in the Woody Herman trombone section for almost two years playing the bass trumpet -- an ungainly looking instrument seldom heard in the jazz field. Tenor sax player Richie Kamuca, who co-featured with Cy on these sessions, was also a member of the Herman Herd and together they achieve a compulsive joyful swing that typifies the mainstream school of Jazz.

The quintet sides are marked by lengthier solos from Cy and Richie, and presented them with an auspicious bow as recorded leaders. Johnny Mandel and Ernie Wilkins’ charts provide ample chance for the octet to get a walking, pulsing, Basie-ish beat going behind all the soloists.
