about

"The veteran tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate is heard here in a relaxed set of standards and blues jams that displays his well-rounded tone and sensitive technique at its mature best. With a robust yet nuanced style, similar to his peers such as Ben Webster and Lester Young, Tate sounds as comfortable on laid-back vehicles such as "Boardwalk" and "Blue Ebony" as on "Miss Sadie Brown," a scaled-down big-band chart with an ineffable swing."
- Jazz Journal International

Count Basie veterans Buck Clayton and tenorman Buddy Tate teamed up during 1960-61 for a pair of recordings. This CD reissues a quintet outing with pianist Sir Charles Thompson, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Mousey Alexander. The repertoire is split between three standards (including "When a Woman Loves a Man") and three Clayton originals. The melodic music consistently swings and practically defines "mainstream" jazz. Worth picking up.

George Holmes "Buddy" Tate (February 22, 1913 – February 10, 2001) was a jazz saxophonist and clarinetist.
He joined Count Basie in 1939 and stayed with him until 1948.
After his period with Basie ended, he worked on his own, starting in 1953 in Harlem. His group worked at the Celebrity Club from 1953 to 1974.
