This CD is a straight reissue of a Pablo LP. Norman Granz teamed together the very distinctive trumpeters
Dizzy Gillespie,
Freddie Hubbard and Clark Terry with pianist
Oscar Peterson, guitarist
Joe Pass, bassist
Ray Brown and drummer
Bobby Durham for a "Trumpet Summit." This particular release features (with one exception) unissued material from the session. There are four versions of a slow blues (only the fourth was released before), all of which have very different solos from the three trumpeters. In addition they interact on "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" and share the spotlight on a three-song ballad medley;
Hubbard's "Here's That Rainy Day" is hard to beat. This release is not quite essential but fans of the trumpeters will want to pick it up. ~ Scott Yanow
