Pleasant dates, though Quincy did no writing for them. I prefer the alto and tenor-baritone dates to the trumpet one. Good to hear Walter Benton; he didn't get showcased enough. Nice to hear Art Pepper and Benny Carter in tandem.

Listened again to all of "Go West, Young Man" and would rate it a good deal higher than pleasant. For one thing the three rhythm sections include Carl Perkins, Lou Levy, Red Mitchell, LeRoy Vinnegar, Shelly Manne and Mel Lewis, and all three are top notch -- more Perkins is always a joy. All the saxophonists are in fine form --especially Carter (very intense), Perkins, and  and Colette (what a lovely player he was). Giuffre's "Bright Moon" is a nutty piece that's hard to get out of your head, and Mariano's sax soli passage on "The Oom is Blues" is something else. Only drawback on the Lonehill CD reissue that also includes the tracks from Jones' terrific "This Is How I Feel About Jazz" album (it's used for the title here) is that the transfer isn't quite what it should be; there are some moments of distortion. Nothing awful, but some people can't stand that, especially if they know that it's the fault of an outfit like Lonehill, while the original LP was perfectly OK.

Jazz at the Philharmonic in Europe (Stan Getz, Cannonball Adderley, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, Roy Eldridge) (Verve). This is one of a series of four LPs that includes some of my favorite JATP. On this set, you get to hear Cannonball and Benny Carter together.

George Shearing Trio, Jazz Moments (Capitol). George Shearing with Ahmad Jamal's great rhythm section (Israel Crosby and Vernel Fournier).
