"Tony Scott led several small groups of various sizes during the month of November 1957, resulting in three separate LPs without duplicating any of the 24 tracks. This two-CD set collects everything recorded during these sessions. Scott's core group features pianist Bill Evans, either Milt Hinton or Henry Grimes on bass, and drummer Paul Motian. In addition to his powerful clarinet, Scott plays a potent baritone sax on six selections. The music includes a few standards, a handful of originals by Scott, and some obscure compositions. Trombonist Jimmy Knepper is a guest on several songs. As are Sahib Shihab and Clark Terry. Even though Evans was yet to make his mark as a leader or composer, his "Five" is heard in extended form rather than as a brief sign off as he played on early recording dates. He also solos brilliantly in "There Will Never Be Another You." The title to this collection is a bit misleading, as trustworthy discographies list these sessions as being recorded over several days." (Allmusic).
