• These two albums, under the leadership of trombonist Al Grey, were recorded when he was a member of Count Basie's band and with the exception of the pianists the men assembled to play in these sessions were all well-known Basie-ites

• Grey was famed for his plunger mute work and here plays vigourously and inventively alongside the other soloists who blow with surefooted intensity

• Joe Newman (tp), Al Grey, Benny Powell (tb), Billy Mitchell (ts), Charlie Fowlkes (bs); Floyd Morris (p), Freddie Green (g), Ed Jones (b), Sonny Payne (d)
