Harold Ashby's a tremendous tenorist almost like Von Freeman or Buck Hill, in that he had years of experience before getting a bit of wider experience on records thanks to albums like this! The set's got Ashby's great raspy tone in perfect formation with a trio led by pianist Horace Parlan himself experiencing a big new wave of exposure at the time, on some of his other Timeless sessions, which marked a move to spacious, more tradition-filled playing which makes him a great partner for Ashby on this set! The rest of the group features Wayne Dockery on bass and Steve McRaven on drums and although the tracks are short, Ashby delivers volumes in a very small space on titles that include "Out Of Nowhere", "Satin Doll", "Talk Of The Town", "Scufflin", "These Foolish Things", and "In My Solitude". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/764029

  1. Thanks for this. I'm familiar with Harold Ashby through his session work with Cobra blues artists circa 1956/57, so I'm interested in having a listen to this one.
