And Ronnell is flawless as an accompanist and soloist - with tasteful chords and punctuation.įrank Foster and Frank Wess remain unheralded giants of big-band and small-group playing, as reed-section musicians, soloists, leaders and arrangers. We also get to hear a sensational trombone section - both together and as individual soloists. The addition of Green was a nice touch, since he not only adds dimensional time-keeping but also a Basie flavor. Wess was one of the first musicians to play jazz flute and his sense of swing on the instrument here is intoxicating. The album was conceived and produced by Ozzie Cadena and recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio at his parents' home in Hackensack, N.J. Two of the songs are Foster originals - Lo-Fi and You'll Do - while Wanting You and Don't Blame Me are standards, and Crackerjack is by Coker.

In effect, these are Basie arrangements in minature. What we hear on this album is Foster setting Wess aloft on flute while unrolling a thick rubbery trombone cushion.

In 1956, to hold his band together, Basie let his musicians make extra money recording as leaders during the band's down time. At the time, Wess, Foster, Coker, Powell, Hughes, Green and Jones were all members of Count Basie's New Testament band while Ronnell Bright would periodically sub for Basie into the 1980s.
