Recorded in Hackensack, NJ; February 20, 1959. Bass – Wendell Marshall; Drums – Osie Johnson; Piano – Ray Bryant; Tenor Saxophone – Hal Singer; Trumpet – Charlie Shavers.
This is a fun set of heated swing with early R&B overtones. The title cut is a real romp, with tenor saxophonist Hal Singer and trumpeter Charlie Shavers not only constructing exciting solos but riffing behind each other. With the exception of the standard "With a Song in My Heart," Singer and Shavers wrote the remainder of the repertoire, and with the assistance of a particularly strong rhythm section (pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Osie Johnson), there are many fine moments on this enjoyable set.
