Another Re-Birth of the Cool.......2005-04-19

This is an overdue re-issue of one of the greatest among the great jazz albums of the 1950s. "Martians Go Home" is witty though slightly dated and over-cool. The leader's somewhat whiny but distinctly original trumpet style might be an acquired taste but it shouldn't take long to acquire it. Jimmy Giuffre is brilliant on clarinet, tenor, and baritone sax. And pay close attention to Pete Jolly on piano, especially on "My Heart Stood Still," where he comps like a restless panther in a cage until Rogers' solo seems (intentionally, I think) to run out of gas and the cage is opened and Jolly leaps out like a bad boy. Shelly Manne is a subtle genius on the drums.

I've had the LP fifty years and never tire of playing it.
