Title: Very Tall Indeed!
Review: On my list of absolutely must have CDs this one stands "Very Tall" indeed! It features three recognized Masters of their instruments: Milt Jackson - vibes, Oscar Peterson - piano, and Ray Brown - bass. How can you go wrong when you have these three together plus the skillful Ed Thigpen on drums? The answer is you can't! Highlights include "Green Dolphin Street, which starts out wonderfully moody before developing into a mid-tempo swinger; the hauntingly beautiful "Heartstrings;" and the rousing "Work Song" with Brown's sharp bowing at the beginning, Peterson's stirring piano solo and the masterful give-and-take between he and Jackson at the finale. These are just some highlights; the entire recording is a gem!
