Lou Levy (p), Max Bennett (b), Stan Levey (d). Recorded in Los Angeles, January 2 & 26, 1957.

This early effort by pianist Lou Levy (28 at the time) finds him playing superior bop interpretations of seven standards and three straight-ahead originals. Levy is teamed on the Los Angeles dates with bassist Max Bennett and drummer Stan Levey. Last available as a French RCA LP in 1983, the music is an excellent example of the modern mainstream of the period and still sounds quite stimulating and swinging. ~Scott Yanow
