About this Vinyl Record: A real treasure from the vaults! George Wallington and his quintet were caught live at the legendary Cafe Bohemia in 1955 in absolutely scintillating form on this Prestige release. The band - featuring the incandescent young Donald Byrd on trumpet and Phil Woods on alto - plays with a fire and spontaneity that only live performance can generate. Wallington's piano playing is inventive and swinging throughout, and the whole session fizzes with a crackling bebop energy that makes it one of the great unsung live jazz recordings.
