Charlie Mariano - Charlie Mariano '1955 [2013]

Tracks list

Bethlehem released The Charlie Mariano Quartet in 1954 when altoist Charlie
Mariano was at the prime of his bebop period. Mariano, whose alto tone mixes
together Benny Carter and Charlie Parker, is accompanied by a quiet and
supportive rhythm section comprised of pianist John Williams, bassist Max
Bennett, and drummer Mel Lewis. Switching to tenor on four of the dozen
selections, Mariano sounds in excellent form on ten standards, a blues, and his
own Floormat. A swinging cool bop date.
