One of the greatest bone players who did not follow the J.J. Johnson's influence. Capable of playing Swing, Bop and rooted R&B projecting a strong feeling of joy in all his music. This CD retains all his powerful sound backing Charlie Ventura or fronting his early 50s quintets for Jubilee, Esquire, Prestige & Decca supported with the soul and passion of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Budd Johnson, Cliff Smalls, Osie Johnson and a rare collaboration with Coleman Hawkins. Undoubtedly the most enjoyable introduction to Green's wonderful friendly style.
