For this CD reissue, "C.P.W." has been added to the original LP program. Guitarist
Kenny Burrell and the young all-stars (trumpeter
Donald Byrd,
Frank Foster on tenor, pianist
Tommy Flanagan, bassist
Doug Watkins, and drummer
Art Taylor) sound fine on the four group compositions, but the 18-minute blues "All Day Long" is easily the most memorable selection. Well worth picking up, as is
All Night Long, which was recorded a week earlier. [The 1990 reissue adds "C.P.W." as a bonus track.] ~ Scott Yanow
