3CD set, digitally remastered, deluxe digipak with a 20-page booklet.
Although they had worked and recorded together since the mid-thirties, pianist Teddy Wilson and drummer Jo Jones only recorded in the trio format during the mid-1950s. All their studio trio sessions are contained here.
Included on this set are the following original albums: For Quiet Lovers (Verve MGV2029), I Got Rhythm (Verve MGV2073), The Impeccable Mr. Wilson (Verve MGV8272) & These Tunes Remind Me of You (Verve MGV8299)!
Their studio trio collaborations were recorded in New York during three extended sessions on January 1, 1955, March 5, 1956, and September 13, 1956. Milt Hinton, Gene Ramey, and Al Lucas alternated on bass. The September 20, 1954 studio session added here as a bonus at the end of CD3 is a strange experiment. Instead of the usual piano/bass/drums format, it includes Benny Carter's alto sax in place of the bass, creating an authentic three-star line-up with each musician enjoying an equal share of solo space. All original sessions are produced by Norman Granz.
