During 1956-57 trumpeter Donald Byrd and altoist Phil Woods (both important up-and-coming players) were regular members of pianist George Wallington's quintet. For this CD reissue, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Art Taylor complete the group on a program that includes three standards ("Our Delight," "Our Love Is Here to Stay" and "What's New"), a pair of Woods originals ("Together We Wail" and "But George") and Frank Foster's "Foster Dulles." The music falls between bebop and hard bop with Woods sounding quite strong while Byrd comes across as a promising (but not yet mature) youngster. A fine example of this somewhat forgotten but talented group, easily recommended to bop collectors. - AllMusic

George Wallington, the first of the new pianists to grasp the essentials of Charlie Parker's and Dizzy Gillespie's music, now has over fifty published compositions to his credit, including the well-known Godchild and Lemon Drop. Here he leads the quintet with which he worked at various New York clubs towards the end of 1955.

The music is stimulating if not highly original. Phil Woods sweeps majestically and authoritiatively through his solos and proves once again that he is one ofjazz's most important new voices. Donald Byrd is fleet and efficient on the up-tempo tunes, but lacks the ability to improvise melodically on the slower melodies. Wallington is still one of the best jazz pianists, but his recens trio LPs have shown him in a better light. Teddy Kotick's bass playing is superb. - Gramophone

  This album still has its original (and very sturdy) inner sleeve.
