?He was a shining example for many European
modern-jazz trombonists: J. J. Johnson, the man
from Indianapolis, and the swinging half of the
pair Jay and Kai. (Kai Winding was the white guy
with the 'cool? sound.) On this Columbia LP,
recorded in August 1960, we can experience J. J.
in three ways ? as a soloist, composer, and
arranger. To this is added a superbly
well-rehearsed combo consisting of Freddie
Hubbard, Clifford Jordan and one of the very best
rhythm groups of late hard bop: Cedar Walton,
Arthur Harper, and Albert Heath on the drums.
Thanks to having performed the works over the
previous eight months in concerts before the
recording, all the works sound wonderfully
homogeneous, and the improvisations never once
become stereotyped. The theme tune of 'In Walked
Horace' well illustrates Jay Jay?s musical
background, which lies somewhere between
Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and Horace Silver.
On the reverse side of the LP cover, J. J. Johnson
describes his feelings during the recording
session: ?Wow! What a pleasure!? And the listener
will certainly go along with that for the whole
length of the LP!
