A nice little album that features some of Eddie Bert’s best work as a leader – a set with some sharp modern tones and a very cool feel overall! The outing’s a strong small combo one – with Bert in lead on trombone, plus tenor by Dave Schildkraut, guitar by Barry Gailbraith, piano by Hank Jones, and drums by Osie Johnson. Tracks are more open than you’d expect – with lots of great blowing by Bert in that dark moody mode he worked on with Mingus. Schildkraut’s sax is very nice, too – and tracks include “Blue Beetle Original”, “Father Time”, “Cool School Days”, “Home Cookin”, and “Speedster”.
