Most of this CD features vibraphonist Teddy Charles heading an advanced tentet
in 1956, a unit including the likes of trumpeter Art Farmer, altoist Gigi Gryce,
tenor saxophonist J.R. Monterose, pianist Mal Waldron, and guitarist Jimmy
Raney. The arrangements of George Russell (Lydian M-1), Gil Evans (a year before
Miles Ahead), Jimmy Giuffre, Mal Waldron, and Charles are quite advanced but
often leave room for some swinging spots. The final three selections on the CD
are actually taken from a slightly later album. Of these, Blue Greens is a
change of pace, a quartet outing for Charles, pianist Hall Overton, bassist
Charles Mingus, and drummer Ed Shaughnessy. All in all, this CD is pretty
definitive of Teddy Charles more adventurous music of the 1950s and it grows in
interest with each listening.~Scott Yanow
