(5 out of 5 stars)
"this is the cd release I've waited for for decades.......jimmy cleveland is "the trombonist".....being one myself I feel safe making that assumption.......on this album he displays ALL of his many qualities,consumate control,exquisite tone and dexterity beyond belief.
The album itself is far from the usual 50's blowing date ,far from it..wilkins arrangements suit jimmy perfectly and ensure there is always something new to hear on repeat playingFor me the inclusion of "Tuba" in a small group setting is a masterstroke!Forget Ray Anderson,Mark Nightingale,Steve Turre,Steve Davis Etc.Etc.........get yourself "some Jimmy".and hear for youself what the Trombone is really capable of .and yes it was 1957From the TopDerek Pritchard......Scotland"
