This album freed pianist George Shearing from the confines of his popular Quintet and showcases him in a trio with Ahmad Jamal's former sidemen (bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernel Fournier). Crosby, heard in his final recording, is in excellent form during these performances and receives some rare opportunities to solo. The main star as usual is the pianist, whose style was perfectly suited to the material heard on this album.

But this album is a testament to the importance of sidemen-Vernel Fournier on drums and Israel Crosby on bass. It is Crosby's story I wish to tell, and his story that's sad. This is one of the last recordings by a man lost before his time. Perhaps because of the time-as jazz reached its peak and just barely pre-Beatles, Crosby is lost to all but the most lucky of listeners. Israel Crosby jumped into the jazz world from Chicago to work with the best. My exposure has been via Shearing and Ahmad Jamal. Crosby's bass playing reveals what history did not.
