Alto Saxophone – John Jenkins; Bass – Wilbur Ware; Drums – Dannie Richmond; Piano – Bobby Timmons; Tenor Saxophone – Clifford Jordan. Recorded in Hackensack, NJ on July 26, 1957.
Four of the five selections on this CD reissue (which also includes "Tenderly") are obscure jazz originals by altoist John Jenkins, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, or trombonist Julian Priester. Inspired by both Charlie Parker and Jackie McLean, Jenkins teams up with Jordan, pianist Bobby Timmons, bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer Dannie Richmond for some bop-oriented improvising. Strange that this would be one of only two sets led by Jenkins. Although the Blue Note CD, recorded just 16 days later, gets the edge, this is an excellent effort too. ~Scott Yanow
