Tracks list

Kenny Drew, one of the top young bop-oriented pianists to emerge in the 1950s,
would not make his one official Blue Note recording as a leader until 1960, but
this set (originally released by Pacific Jazz) has been reissued on CD under the
Blue Note name. Drews regular group of the period (a quartet with altoist Joe
Maini, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Lawrence Marable) is featured on nine
pieces (including six Drew originals) that swing but are not overly predictable.
Maini, who died prematurely, has a rare opportunity to stretch out and all of
the musicians are in fine form. In addition, this CD has three selections with
the same group under trumpeter Jack Sheldons leadership (two Drew songs plus Its
Only a Paper Moon) which were originally released on samplers. Excellent modern
mainstream music of the mid-50s.
