• The pianist’s first album as leader, cut in 1959 while he was a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s group, having previously played with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet during its two-year existence
• At the time Oscar Peterson suggested that Mance represented a new direction for modern jazz pianists, writing “The clarity and freshness of ideas that Junior Mance projects on his instrument are refreshing in a jazz field cluttered with experimentalists and fumblers”
• Includes two bonus tracks from 1954 |
Reviews |
| Jazzwise - Jack Masserik |
| It's remarkable just how fresh it does sound for a session of more than 55 years ago. |
| The Jazz Rag - Hugh Ledigo |
| He has the crisp, light touch of the trained pianist and the strongly blues-inflected phrasing of the boogie masters. |
