Actually my title is too narrow. This album is an enjoyable listen by fans and jazz aficionados, but is essential study for anyone in a rhythm section. For one thing Brown plays melody on a number of tracks, which is the opposite of what most bassists do. That alone opens ideas and possibilities.
Lest I start babbling about the music and get lost in buzz words listen to the sound samples on this page instead of me. Even the shortest snippets convey the essence of the music and also illustrate what I am trying to say about this being a study in bass and rhythm sections. Again, this is music to be enjoyed by non musicians as well. It has a nice feel and swing to it.
Another thing I love is this is not solely about Ray Brown or bass. It features the Oscar Peterson Trio (of which Brown was a member when this album was recorded), plus Ossie Johnson on drums. Fronting the ensemble is Jerome Richardson on flute who adds an airy element to the music. The Trio here is Peterson on both piano and organ (that is another reason to get this album) and Herb Ellis on guitar.
