Clear Vinyl.This 1956 Donald Byrd-s quartet session, subsequently released in 1957 on Transition Records, sees the young trumpeter leading a Beacon Hill based rhythm section featuring bassist Doug Watkins, pianist Ray Santisi, and drummer Jim Zitano. The perfect line up for getting through a selection of classic standards such as 'Stella by Starlight', 'Polka Dots and Moonbeams', and 'What's New'. The atmosphere is easy and relaxed, and far from the hard bop & soul mood that later became Byrd's signature. This is a higly sensitive quartet that swings lightly and without unnecessary overplaying but with just the right hint of blues to make the music highly intriguing.
