“This early Concord recording (which is available on CD) is unusual in a couple of ways. Guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown (who are the co-leaders) are joined not only by trumpeter Harry Sweets Edison (who is in colorful form) and drummer Jake Hanna but pianist George Duke in one of his very few mainstream records. Their repertoire includes jazz versions of such unlikely tunes as Inka-Dinka-Doo, Easter Parade and The Flintstones Theme; the latter version (which is based on the familiar I Got Rhythm chord changes) was the first of many to turn that cartoon melody into jazz. In addition Brown (Soft Shoe), Edison and Ellis contribute a song apiece plus there is a brief rendition of Green Dolphin Street that is taken as a Brown-Ellis duet. Recommended.”
