A romping little session from
Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate - served up in a looser, more relaxed setting than
the former's albums for Columbia, and a slightly more swing-based mode than the
latter's dates for Chess! Both horn players get plenty of room to solo in the
open-ended Swingville mode - Buck on trumpet and Buddy on both tenor and
clarinet - and the group's a nice one too, since Sir Charles Thompson's playing
piano, Gene Ramey's on bass, and Gus Johnson's on drums. Titles include
"Blue Creek", "Blue Breeze", "Blue Ebony",
"Rompin At Red Bank", and "Dallas Delight". ©
