“When Erroll came in to play this session on the vening of February 6, 1957 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City, he was subdued, relaxed, and went into the control room to ‘loosen up' the engineers, kidding around with his usual warm, friendly touch. He then noodled the piano briefly, suddenly looked up, and said ‘ready? Any time' - Martha Glaser & George Avakian, from the original liner notes
