Review by Scott Yanow
In the 1950s, pianist Billy Taylor was best known for his work with his trios. For this Riverside set (reissued on CD in the OJC series) Taylor tried something different, writing arrangements for four flutists (including Frank Wess, Herbie Mann, and Jerome Richardson), his rhythm section, and the congas of Chino Pozo. The flutists get their opportunities to solo, and the music (which includes "The Song Is Ended," "St. Thomas," "Oh Lady Be Good," "How About You," and four of Taylor's originals) is essentially bop, but the unusual instrumentation gives the set its own personality. Enjoyable music that certainly stands out from the crowd.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
En los años 50, el pianista Billy Taylor era más conocido por su trabajo con sus tríos. Para este set de Riverside (reeditado en CD en la serie OJC) Taylor intentó algo diferente, escribiendo arreglos para cuatro flautistas (entre ellos Frank Wess, Herbie Mann y Jerome Richardson), su sección rítmica y las congas de Chino Pozo. Los flautistas tienen sus oportunidades de tocar en solitario, y la música (que incluye "The Song Is Ended", "St. Thomas", "Oh Lady Be Good", "How About You", y cuatro de los originales de Taylor) es esencialmente bop, pero la inusual instrumentación le da al conjunto su propia personalidad. Música agradable que ciertamente se destaca de la multitud.
