The main fault of this otherwise superior CD reissue is that there are only 31 minutes of music. Trumpeter
Ted Curson, who by the early '60s had his own distinctive sound and an advanced yet accessible style, performs two standards ("Show Me" and "Falling in Love With Love") and four obscurities, with pianist
Gildo Mahones, bassist
George Tucker, drummer
Roy Haynes, and (on four numbers)
Montego Joe on conga.
Curson, 27 at the time, is heard in top form on one of the very few of his sessions to be reissued on CD. ~ Scott Yanow
