One of the more unique recordings in the Blue Note 1500 series, trombonist Bennie Green oversees a cool mix of swing, blues and mambo arrangements, including vocal contributions by the leader himself and the great Babs Gonzales. With his bone tone still rooted in the swing era, Green was starting to take notice and become influenced by the emergence of soul and rhythm and blues, inviting Gene Ammons to sit in on tenor. Adding Billy Root as 2nd tenor creates a front line like no other while the legendary Sonny Clark handles the piano. Ike Isaacs bass and the brute-drumming of Elvin Jones round out the sextet. Highlights include a forceful We Wanna Cook plus heartbreaking takes of Thats All and Lullaby Of The Doomed. Mastered and cut from the original full track and pressed on Classics 200g Super Vinyl Profile.
