Charlie Mariano

Recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on July 11, 1955.

On these 1955 quartet sessions for the Bethlehem label, we hear Charlie Mariano play some of the strongest and sides he had recorded backed by a solid rhythm section, featuring John Williams, Max Bennett, and Mel Lewis. All the tracks are marked by a pulse and flow which demand satisfactory attention.
