Jazz
Recorded: December 10 & 12, 1959, Hall Recording Studio, Chicago, Illinois
Jimmy Forrest - Sax (Tenor)
Harold Mabern - Piano
Grant Green - Guitar
Gene Ramey - Bass
Elvin Jones - Drums
The swinging no-nonsense bebop enclosed here is proof that Jimmy Forrest should be included in the list of top jazz tenor sax players. These musicians were, at the time, with the well known trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, except Grant Green who was brought to Chicago for this, his recorded debut.

This 1972 LP, a complement to All the Gin Is Gone, released the remainder of tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest's two Delmark sessions, including four alternate takes and five other songs. Forrest sounds fine, guitarist Grant Green was making his debut on record, and the rhythm section (pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Elvin Jones) plays up to par. Get All the Gin Is Gone first, and then, if one wants to hear the rest of the story, this set.

A fine all-round tenor player, Jimmy Forrest is best-known for recording "Night Train," a song that he "borrowed" from the last part of Duke Ellington's "Happy Go Lucky Local." While in high school in St. Louis, Forrest worked with pianist Eddie Johnson, the legendary Fate Marable, and the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra. In 1938, he went on the road with Don Albert and then was with Jay McShann's Orchestra (1940-1942). In New York, Forrest played with Andy Kirk (1942-1948) and Duke Ellington (1949) before returning to St. Louis. After recording "Night Train," Forrest became a popular attraction and recorded a series of jazz-oriented R&B singles. Among his most important later associations were with Harry "Sweets" Edison (1958-1963), Count Basie's Orchestra (1972-1977), and Al Grey, with whom he co-led a quintet until his death. Forrest recorded for United (reissued by Delmark), PrestigeNew Jazz (1960-1962), and Palo Alto (1978).
