A pair of formerly rare quintet sets featuring altoist Phil Woods are combined on this CD reissue from the OJC series.
One session was actually led by guitarist Jimmy Raney in 1954 (and also includes trumpeter John Wilson, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Joe Morello) while the other group (with trumpeter Howard McGhee, bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Roy Haynes) was headed by pianist Dick Hyman in 1959.
Both bop-oriented dates have their moments, with the edge going to Hyman's session.
