Description

...or more accurately, he never lost it! It's a shame more people don't know about this wonderful bop tenor player. Despite his successes with the Jazztet, and as the arranger for some of Blue Note's best 50s albums, Benny Golson remains in obscurity. "Groovin' With Golson" is probably the best of his half-dozen albums for the Prestige label. The title is appropriate because from the first notes of "My Blues House" it just swings and grooves all the way to the last track, the standard "Yesterdays." Having a ballad conclude an album seems like an odd choice, but here it's perfect -- you need amore… rest by this point! The all-star band of Curtis Fuller, Ray Bryant, Paul Chambers, and Art Blakey is in top from. This is one of the best jazz albums of 1959, no small feat considering "Kind of Blue," "Giant Steps" and "Mingus Ah Um" were also cut that year. An overlooked, but essential purchase.
