Classic Concord albums now available on unresistable 180g vinvyl with MP3 download codes.

Three of the up-and-coming hard bop trumpeters of the 1950s are matched up on this jam session-flavored set: Art Farmer, Donald Byrd and Idrees Sulieman. With a fine rhythm section (comprised of pianist Hod OBrien, bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Ed Thigpen), the brassmen perform five originals (one apiece from Farmer, Byrd and OBrien and two from Sulieman). Although none of the songs caught on (Palm Court Alley is actually a blues), there are some fireworks during these performances, a straight CD reissue of the original LP. ~ Scott Yanow
