Tracks list

The first of the famous Buck Clayton jam sessions, the exciting music on this
long out-of-print LP has been reissued as part of a Mosaic box set. Two songs
(Sentimental Journey and Moten Swing) are from a December 1953 session in which
the trumpeter/leader is teamed with trumpeter Joe Newman, trombonists Urbie
Green and Benny Powell, altoist Lem Davis, Julian Dash on tenor, baritonist
Charlie Fowlkes, pianist Sir Charles Thompson, guitarist Freddie Green, bassist
Walter Page and drummer Jo Jones. However it is How Hi the Fi (cut along with
Blue Moon on March 31, 1954) that is most memorable. Buck and fellow trumpeter
Joe Thomas, trombonists Urbie Green and Trummy Young, clarinetist Woody Herman,
Davis and Dash, Al Cohn on second tenor, pianist Jimmy Jones, guitarist Steve
Jordan, bassist Walter Page and drummer Jo Jones are all in inspired form. The
most memorable soloists are the rambunctious Trummy Young, the harmonically
advanced chordings of Jimmy Jones and an exuberant Woody Herman who was rarely
heard in this type of jam session setting. With Clayton having worked out some
ensemble riffs for the horns beforehand and plenty of space left for
spontaneity, this music has plenty of magic.
