Reissued by the V.S.O.P. label, this session features the excellent bop trumpeter
Conte Candoli in a quartet with pianist
Vince Guaraldi, bassist Monty Budwig, and drummer
Stan Levey. In addition to the joy of hearing
Candoli so well-showcased, this set is recommended because of the interesting repertoire. In addition to "Flamingo," "Diane," and "No Moon at All," one gets to hear rare selections penned by the likes of
Al Cohn,
Osie Johnson, Conte's brother
Pete Candoli, and the leader himself. ~ Scott Yanow
