Paul Quinichette (tenor sax) -- whose style was so similar to that of
Lester Young that he was nicknamed "Prez Jr." -- heads up two different combos on
Cattin'. The bulk of the outing features
Quinichette and his Prestige Records labelmate
John Coltrane (tenor sax) co-leading a quintet that also includes
Mal Waldron (piano),
Julian Euell (bass), and
Ed Thigpen (drums). There is one caveat, a version of "Tea for Two," which will be discussed more in a moment.
