Personnel

Lennie Bush bass
Ronnie Stevenson drums

If there is any common denominator that links the numbers on this disc it is that they were all either composed or arranged with the band and the individual musicians in mind. 

While he was in Britain at the end of, 1964 Buck Clayton agreed to do some arrangements for us of “standards'. “Lullaby of the Leaves" was one of the tunes I gave him, it was specially designed to feature Joe Temperley's baritone Sax. Eddie Harvey arranged "Shiny Stockings", a Frank Foster tune originally written for the Count Basie band. Believing that the introduction and the "shouting" last chorus in the Basie version are an integral part of "Shiny Stockings" Eddie adapted them for small band and gave an extended solo part to Tony Coe.
