This release presents the first two albums recorded by the Kessel-Brown-Manne Trio. The formation began as the result of all three musicians sweeping the Metronome, Down Beat and Playboy polis, but quickly proved to be a greatly effective and popular unit. Both LPs, which appear here in their entirety, were given a rating of * * ** 1/2 when reviewed in Down Beat.

****1/2 Down Beat
"There's very little that must be said about the value of The Poll Winners. It is virtuosity without the sacrifice of an air of relaxed enjoyment. There are splendid solos by each member, making this a ball for listeners and an unintended instructional record for guitarists, and drummers. These are the sounds of musicians who enjoy playing and who enjoy playing together. This is The Rhythm Section, and it's the Melodic Section, too. Definitely recommended." (Don Gold, Down Beat, 1958)
