about

Count Basie veterans Buck Clayton and tenorman Buddy Tate teamed up during 1960-61 for a pair of recordings. This CD reissues a quintet outing with pianist Sir Charles Thompson, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Mousey Alexander. The repertoire is split between three standards (including "When a Woman Loves a Man") and three Clayton originals. The melodic music consistently swings and practically defines "mainstream" jazz. Worth picking up.
