Two-CD compilation of Smith's Verve material -- big band and small group. Big band arrangements, mostly by Oliver Nelson, are excellent, more varied than one might think (check out the mysterioso "St. James Infirmary" -- does Nelson really get those upper-register shrieks from a band (on this track) with no brass, only reeds and rhythm?)  and played with much zest by all. Grady Tate in top form does most of the drum work, but don't miss Ed Shaughnessy on the title track. Some fine Burrell and a very nice outing from Eric Gale.

Clarinets, check out the outchorus, where the unison intonation is less than "perfect" and the instruments reveal themself.

[Larry Kart]

Thanks. Clarinets would have been my guess.
