J.J. Johnson is a class act, and an incredible jazz trombonist. This recording is beautifully played, great songs, great arrangements, and J.J. sounds as good as ever. Wayne Shorter also plays some nice sax on this recording. I would recommend this recording to anyone, whether they're a jazz fan or not!

I bought this CD a year or so before the Great Trombonist passed away. This album quickly became one of my favorites--and still is. I stand in awe at J.J.'s massive output and longevity, and his ability to put out an album that's really swingin', thought-provoking, fun, interesting, and a continung source of pleasure. And in his 80s! Amazing! Wayne Shorter won a Grammy for his guest appearance here on "In Walked Wayne." It made me wish the two of them had many more such collaborations as I think it's the best track on the album. I'd give it five stars, but have to reserve that for something like Miles' "Kind of Blue."
