Legendary bebop singer Joe Carroll had not recorded for most of the late Fifties, but when he finally returned in the early Sixties he did so with a solid pulse and a happy feeling on these two sessions for the Charlie Parker label, recently launched by Doris Parker, Bird’s widow and owner of his estate. On the resulting album, “Man with a Happy Sound” (1962), he was backed by an exuberant trio led by organist Specs Williams, with Connie Lester, tenor sax, Lee Ainsley, drums, and featuring the young guitarist Grant Green on five of the tracks. The album includes some of the tunes that the singer made famous while he was with Dizzy Gillespie during the late Forties and early Fifties, as well as some fine new material.
A year before this album was released though, Joe Carroll had recorded two sides for the same label—Anthropology and Hi-Fly—backed by such notables as Duke Jordan, Clark Terry and Cecil Payne, and featuring some duets with Payne. For Joe, the release of this single was his chance to “do a thing with some good cats and let everybody stretch out a little”—and this single eventually led him to put together the selections and musicians that make up “Man with a Happy Sound.”

El legendario cantante de bebop Joe Carroll no había grabado durante la mayor parte de los últimos años cincuenta, pero cuando finalmente regresó a principios de los sesenta lo hizo con un sólido pulso y un sentimiento de felicidad en estas dos sesiones para el sello Charlie Parker, recientemente lanzado por Doris Parker, viuda de Bird y propietaria de su patrimonio. En el álbum resultante, "Man with a Happy Sound" (1962), estaba respaldado por un exuberante trío dirigido por el organista Specs Williams, con Connie Lester, saxo tenor, Lee Ainsley, batería, y con la participación del joven guitarrista Grant Green en cinco de los temas. El álbum incluye algunos de los temas que el cantante hizo famosos mientras estaba con Dizzy Gillespie a finales de los años cuarenta y principios de los cincuenta, así como algún buen material nuevo.
Sin embargo, un año antes de que se publicara este álbum, Joe Carroll había grabado dos caras para el mismo sello -Anthropology y Hi-Fly- respaldado por notables como Duke Jordan, Clark Terry y Cecil Payne, y con algunos duetos con Payne. Para Joe, el lanzamiento de este sencillo fue su oportunidad de "hacer algo con algunos buenos gatos y dejar que todo el mundo se estire un poco", y este sencillo le llevó finalmente a reunir las selecciones y los músicos que componen "Man with a Happy Sound".
