Review

This is the second of two LPs documenting a 1963 concert in which many of the top American jazzmen who were living in Europe participated. While all of Vol. 1 has been reissued on CD, only the two numbers from tenor-saxophonist Don Byas on this album were included. Byas tears apart "All the Things You Are" with the assistance of trumpeter Idrees Sulieman and pianist Bud Powell and is excellent on "I Remember Clifford." Otherwise clarinetist Albert Nicholas leads a trad sextet for two songs and takes "Rose Room" as a feature, blues pianist/vocalist Champion Jack Dupree is featured on "Wine, Whiskey and Gin Head Women" and Curtis Jones sings the blues on "Lots of Talk for You." ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
