This is a masterpiece one-horn album by Joe Wilder, a jazz trumpeter who also played with Lionel Hampton and the Count Basie Orchestra. Although his name is not well-known in Japan, listening to this record will make you realize his true ability. It features many famous songs and is considered the best among his few leader albums. The members are all masters: Hank Jones (p), Wendell Marshall (b), and Kenny Clarke (ds). His deeply moving performance on the ballad "Prelude To A Kiss" is superb. Hank Jones' exquisite piano playing is also a highlight. You will be healed by the nostalgic and warm tone of the trumpet. US Savoy MG-12063 DG mono The original was released in 1956, but this record is likely a reissue from around the same time. The coated jacket has a tear at the top, but the aging is minimal and it is in good condition. The record has some fine scratches and some surface noise, but overall the noise is minimal and the condition is good. There is no RVG stamp, but you can enjoy the crisp monaural sound. Although it has been reissued many times, this is a valuable copy with a jacket and record close to the original.
