From the inside cover: The group was made up of an honor roll of the trombone world. It consisted of Will Bradley, Harry Di Vito, Eddie Bert, Jimmy Cleveland, Mervin Gold, Jack Rains, Chauncey Welsch, Mickey Gravine, Johnny Mesner, Jr., Lou McGarity, Phil Giardina, Charlie Small, J. J. Johnson, Barry Maur, Bill Elton, Sonny Russo, Tommy Mitchell, Tony Studd, Alan Raph, Dick Hixson, Paul Faulise, Buddy Morrow, Wayne Andre and Kai Winding.

And, of course, Urbie Green, playing some of the most magnificent solos he or any other trombonist has ever put on a recording. Just a sampling of some of the cadenzas he plays in this album could stand as the complete definition of virtuosity on the trombone.
