Grooving Hard-Bop, nice tunes and solos

"Some of the best recorded music of the late fifties happened, when Donald Byrd and Jackie McLean were playing together. They really formed a great team, each of them plays as a sideman on the other one's recording dates, so imagine, if you might do a blindfold-test, it would be quite hard to guess, who of them is the leader. Donald Byrd wrote beautiful swinging tunes for this album and everybody plays great, so hard-bop fans will really enjoy that."

This is an album with a happy sound

"The musicians play flawlessly. The tunes are unforgettable. You will find yourself humming the themes long after the cd is back on the rack. This is the type of Jazz that makes you want more. If you find someone that was turned off by avant-garde jazz and says that they can't listen to Jazz, play this cd for them and watch them convert into a jazz enthusiast. The music is simply beautiful!"
