With the exception of a Sonet album from 1977, this was guitarist Tiny Grimes’ last recording as a leader. Grimes is surprisingly still in peak form and is well showcased in a quartet with pianist Lloyd Glenn, bassist Roland Lobligeois and drummer Panama Francis. Although there are some blues, as usual, Grimes also gets to stretch out “Lester Leaps In” and “I Found a New Baby,” which show how strong a swing-based improviser he could be. This music was last available in the U.S. on a Classic Jazz LP, although it has been reissued on CD in France. – Scott Yanow
