Later reissued on cd, these are the Vogue masters. recorded in NY in 1954, these sessions are an almost perfect example of laid back swing. Straddling the line between the classic and that new bop shit, Pettiford never ceases to amaze me. Of the very short list of the stuff I have in his name, this one seems to rise to the top. I even find myself overlooking Farlow's guitar.Oscar Pettiford

Kickass session! Pettiford is fantastic as usual, Tal especially on fire (what a sound!), Henri Renaud playing nice in a non-parisian session... Nice one, hookfinger!
We may butt heads on the guitar. Glad you hang out! My pleasure!
There you have it folks...don't take my word for it on the guitar...Felix says there is fire there...trust him.
I was completely unaware of this one. Many thanks.
Doesn't get any better than this, thanks
Rab and Wall - just my way of giving back. Glad you found something you like. Thanks Terry for stopping by as well.
Many thanks for the Oscar Pettiford and a fine recording it is. Much appreciated, Hookfinger.
Oscater Pettiford sextet : Beautiful, and well recorded, very good sound
