This excellent sextet session by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was recorded for NORGRAN in New York City on January 12, 1956 with Sonny Stitt (alto sax); John Lewis (piano); Skeeter Best (guitar); Percy Heath (bass) & Charli Persip (drums).
The five memorable tracks feature originals from Gillespie & Stitt, a ballad medley of three standards plus a fine version of 'Mean To Me'.
Everyone's in fine form with a superb rhythm section and relaxed, empathetic bop jam session by 'The Modern Jazz Sextet' is well worth adding to the collection.
