About this product

Recorded in three sessions by the legendary engineer Rudy Van Gelder at his Hackensack, New Jersey studio to simulate "typical" nightclub sets, virtually every tune has become a classic.

The mercurial trumpeter's band is cookin' on 'Tune Up', 'Oleo', and 'Salt Peanuts' (with Philly Joe's solo a model of percussive excitement and musicality); workin' on 'Four', 'Blues by Five', and 'Trane's Blues'; relaxin' on 'When Lights Are Low', 'Surrey With The Fringe On Top', and 'In Your Own Sweet Way'; and steamin' on signature ballads such as 'It Never Entered My Mind', 'Round Midnight', and 'My Funny Valentine'.
