"Comprised mostly of air-shots from Birdland, New York City 1955-1958 is an unmitigated treasure trove for fans of the star-crossed bassist Oscar Pettiford who died at the age of 37 from a viral infection in 1960. Pettiford's star in the jazz firmament burned brightly for much of his eighteen-year trans-Atlantic career and his influence is still readily discernible today in the work of countless professional players".
