Pianist Kenny Drew teams up with other young hard bop players on this
CD reissue. Trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley (who is
on the first three tracks), bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer G.T. Hogan
perform four standards (including "It's You or No One" and "Why Do I
Love You?") and selections by Drew, Byrd, and Sonny Rollins ("Paul's
Pal"). Kenny Drew's recording career was quite consistent (none of his
releases were throwaways) and this session should appeal to
straight-ahead bop collectors. Scott Yanow
