This Is New (1957)

About this title: Pianist Kenny Drew teams up with other young hard bop players on this CD reissue. Trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley (who is on the first three tracks), bassist Wilbur Ware, and drummer G.T. Hogan perform four standards (including "It's You or No One" and "Why Do I Love You?") and selections by Drew, Byrd, and Sonny Rollins ("Paul's Pal"). Kenny Drew's recording career was quite consistent (none of his releases were throwaways) and this session should appeal to straight-ahead bop collectors. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
