This is a typical set from the great James Moody band of the mid-Fifties: lots of blues, a couple of exceptional ballads (including the alto sax version of "It Might as Well Be Spring", which Moody also recorded on tenor), deep-dish soul (most obviously on the track "Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen") and a spot for vocalese pioneer Eddie Jefferson. While the magnificent Moody holds the spotlight much of the way, there is also room for important contributions from trumpeter Dave Burns, a sturdy if unheralded rhythm section, and the then-upcoming composer/arrangers Benny Golson and Quincy Jones.
* Quincy Jones - Arranger
* Rudy Van Gelder - Engineer
In the mid-'50s James Moody led a four-horn septet that played music falling somewhere between bop and rhythm & blues. The danceable rhythms and riffing made its recordings somewhat accessible but the solos of Moody (on tenor and alto) and trumpeter Dave Burns also held listener's interests. Vocalese master Eddie Jefferson has two guest appearances (on "Workshop" and "I Got the Blues") and Iona Wade sings "That Man O' Mine" in a Dinah Washington-influenced style but the emphasis is on Moody's solos and the ensembles; the leader's two versions of "It Might as Well Be Spring" (one on tenor, the other on alto) are highlights of this enjoyable CD reissue.
