Review
by Scott Yanow
Although trombonist Jimmy Cleveland is the main star of this album, arranger Ernie Wilkins comes in a close second. Wilkins' charts for the septet make inventive use of either Jay McAllister or Don Butterfield on tuba and he also brought in two excellent originals (including one called "Goodbye Ebbets Field"). With trumpeter Art Farmer, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Eddie Jones and drummer Charlie Persip also featured with the septet, it is not surprising that the result is high-quality straightahead jazz. Worth searching for.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Aunque el trombonista Jimmy Cleveland es la estrella principal de este álbum, el arreglista Ernie Wilkins le sigue de cerca. Los arreglos de Wilkins para el septeto hacen un uso inventivo de Jay McAllister o Don Butterfield en la tuba y también aportó dos excelentes originales (incluyendo uno llamado "Goodbye Ebbets Field"). Con el trompetista Art Farmer, el saxofonista tenor Benny Golson, el pianista Wynton Kelly, el bajista Eddie Jones y el batería Charlie Persip también en el septeto, no es sorprendente que el resultado sea un jazz directo de alta calidad. Merece la pena buscarlo.
