• One of the finest pianists in modern jazz, Hank Jones leads these 1955 New Jersey sessions with high quality personnel : on 3 tracks, he heads a quartet with Donald Byrd, Eddie Jones and Kenny Clarke. On another three, the then-new trumpeter Matty Dice was added to the combo.

• The rhythm section is excellent all the way, with Jones, as usual, unhurried and thoroughly tasteful; on the ballads he evokes more reflective beauty of conception than almost any other of his contemporary pianists.

• Bassist Eddie Jones of the Basie band is also heard in a few full-toned solos, and Clarke holds a pulsating, steady line that could let a soloist walk on the water. Byrd is at his best on all tracks; his tone, phrasing, and ideas are remarkable, and his performance on the two ballads is superb.

• Herbie Mann joins the group as a guest for the closing tune of this CD, offering some free-flowing, remarkably cohesive variations on Charlie Parker’s Bluebird.
