There are lots of rare and swinging performances on this valuable reissue CD from Vogue. The great swing trumpeter Buck Clayton (for whom critic Stanley Dance coined the phrase "mainstream") is heard in a sextet that co-stars tenor saxophonist Don Byas. Clayton heads a nonet that also features fellow trumpeter Bill Coleman (who gets almost as much solo space as Clayton), and tenor saxophonist Alix Combelle, and guesting with Combelle's 14-piece orchestra in 1953, the latter group performs eight of its leader's originals, all arranged in swinging fashion by Clayton. This disc is easily recommended to straight-ahead jazz fans. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
