I love this record. I think it is a perfect example of the leap made from bebop to hard bop. It's not about virtuosity, but the ability to get you off your seat.Two bebop standards, an obscure cover, and two originals, this date should be better known.
Alas this appears to be the only session by this group, a fly by night recording rather than a working quintet.
Somewhere I have more Wallington recordings but they are MIA at this point.

Thanks---I used to have the live at the Cafe Bohemia record--another good one, and one of Paul Chambers' first New York gigs--this musta' come a little before that one.
