Harold Land - Sax (Tenor)
Jack Sheldon - Trumpet
Curtis Counce, born in Kansas City in 1926, was one of the most underrated bassists on the Los Angeles jazz scene, despite such credits as this album under his own name, a tour with Stan Kenton in 1956, and frequent associations with Gerald Wilson, Jack Sheldon, Harold Land, Al Perkins, and Frank Butler. He was heard on records with Maynard Ferguson, Art Pepper, and Chet Baker, displaying his fine technique and admirable sense of time. On these sides he is presented in the kind of buoyant company that was not often associated with the phrase "West Coast Jazz." Counce died of a heart attack in 1963.

Although the title and even the cover photo have been changed, this CD reissue has the same music as was earlier issued as Counceltation; the "bonus cut" "Woody 'n You" has also been reissued on Sonority. In any case, the program features the underrated but talented Curtis Counce Quintet of 1956-1957, a group consisting of the bassist/leader, trumpeter Jack Sheldon, tenor saxophonist Harold Land, pianist Carl Perkins, and drummer Frank Butler. Counce contributed two originals but otherwise the band sticks to jazz standards, with some of the best moments being on "Too Close for Comfort," "Mean to Me," and Charlie Parker's "Big Foot."

Curtis Counce
Active Decades: '40s, '50s and '60s
Born: Jan 23, 1926 in Kansas City, MO
Died: Jul 31, 1963 in Los Angeles, CA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hard Bop, West Coast Jazz
Curtis Counce was an in-demand session bassist and one of the first African Americans to get heavily involved in the West Coast jazz movement in the 1940s. He studied violin and tuba in addition to bass before leaving his native city for employment with the Nat Towles Band in Omaha at the age of 16. He moved to L.A. in 1945, taking a job with Johnny Otis at the Club Alabam and made his recording debut with Lester Young the following year. He recorded prolifically as a sideman (Shelly Manne, Lyle Murphy, Teddy Charles, Clifford Brown) before starting his famous quintet in 1956. His premature death from a heart attack was a tragic loss to jazz. All of Counce's Contemporary dates as a leader have been reissued, as has the once rare Exploring the Future. An added bonus was the appearance of previously unreleased Contemporary masters on the 1989 CD Sonority.
