This somewhat obscure recording by the bop-oriented altoist
Herb Geller features him in a 1958 quintet with vibraphonist
Victor Feldman, pianist
Walter Norris, bassist
Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Anthony Vazley. Other than a session for Atco, this was
Geller's last American album until 1993; it would be 1975 before he recorded as a leader again.
Geller is in fine form on three of his originals and two standards ("Change Partners" and "It Might as Well Be Spring"). Originally cut for Jubilee, this Fresh Sound CD is part of an extensive series that has brought back many forgotten dates from the 1950s. Bop collectors will enjoy this one. ~ Scott Yanow
