This CD, a straight reissue of an RCA LP, has three unrelated but consistently interesting sessions that were recorded in 1963. Three selections with tenor-saxophonist
Sonny Rollins (the only performances currently available elsewhere) are rather free (and fascinating) versions of standards and also feature cornetist
Don Cherry, bassist
Henry Grimes and drummer
Billy Higgins. Vibraphonist
Gary Burton's quartet (with trumpeter
Jack Sheldon, bassist
Monty Budwig and drummer
Vernell Fournier) is fine if not overly memorable on their four numbers but flugelhornist
Clark Terry (with pianist
Hank Jones, bassist
Milt Hinton, drummer
Osie Johnson and
Willie Rodriguez on Latin percussion) is in superior form, playing with great exuberance on "When My Dream Boat Comes Home" and "Cielito Lindo." Well worth picking up.
