Martin Rivera - Bass
Salvatore LaRocca - Drums
The reissue label Test of Time has specialized in restoring a number of long unavailable LPs to print, most of which were originally recorded for the Japanese label East Wind and briefly available in the U.S. on the long defunct Inner City label. These 1976 sessions by pianist Junior Mance are typical for the era, mixing originals, standards, and a modern pop tune. Fortunately, the normally bland "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" benefits from Mance's soulful, upbeat treatment, featuring bassist Martin Rivera prominently as well as the leader. Mance's rambunctious introduction to "God Bless the Child" immediately signals that he plans to take it into a different direction, though there is a gospel air to part of his arrangement. Mance's upbeat "Holy Mama" also has strong gospel roots, while he closes with two more originals, the uptempo blues "The Good Old Days" and the soulful "Blues for the Schnug," though the liner notes don't explain the latter title's significance. This is an excellent date that is well worth seeking out.

Born: Oct 10, 1928 in Chicago, IL

Junior Mance is well-known for his soulful bluesy style, but he is also expert at playing bop standards. He started playing professionally when he was ten. Mance worked with Gene Ammons in Chicago during 1947-1949, played with Lester Young (1950), and was with the Ammons-Sonny Stitt group until he was drafted. He was the house pianist at Chicago's Bee Hive (1953-1954), worked as Dinah Washington's accompanist (1954-1955), was in the first Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1956-1957), and then spent two years touring with Dizzy Gillespie (1958-1960). After a few months with the Eddie "Lockjaw" DavisJohnny Griffin group, Mance formed his own trio and has mostly been a leader ever since. He has led sessions for Verve, Jazzland, Riverside, Capitol, Atlantic, Milestone, Polydor, Inner City, JSP, Nilva, Sackville, and Bee Hive, among other labels.
