Sealed, Rare 1987 Original. "This LP, Arranger Tom Talbert's First As A Leader In Ten Years, Differs From His Other Sets In That It Is A Small Group Date Although It Does Utilize His Complex Charts. The Sextet Which Includes Trumpeter Bob Summers, Trombonist Andy Martin, Altoist Dick Mitchell, Baritonist Lee Callet, Bassist John Leitham, Drummer Jeff Hamilton And Occasionally Talbert's Piano Performs Eight Of The Leader's Originals Plus Four Standards "Hello, Dolly," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Lulu's Back In Town" And "Cute". Although One Misses The Big Band, Talbert's Unusual Harmonies And Logical Arrangements Make This A LP Certainly Worth Acquiring." Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.... more details
