Bass – Ray Brown; Drums – Shelly Manne; Guitar – Barney Kessel. Recorded July 12, 1975 at Contemporary's studio in Los Angeles.
15 years after their last joint recordings, the Poll Winners (a trio with guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne) had a reunion for this excellent session which has been reissued on CD. All three players had grown quite a bit musically since the 1950s and Kessel in particular is heard in excellent form on the three standards and three swinging originals. Overall this is the best all-around recording by The Poll Winners and is easily recommended to bop fans. ~Scott Yanow
