Back on the Scene was the trombonist’s Blue Note debut. The swinging six-song album features saxophonist Charlie Rouse, pianist Joe Knight, bassist George Tucker, and drummer Louis Hayes. The record opens with Cole Porter’s “I Love You,” written in 1944 for his stage musical Mexican Hayride.
Up next is “Melba’s Mood,” one of two contributions from the trombonist and composer Melba Liston. Liston performed with the Gillespie band throughout the 1940s and ‘50s. The first side of Back on the Scene wraps up with “Just Friends,” a standard written by John Klenner and Sam. M Lewis.
