Benny Golson – Benny Golson’s New York Scene (Vinyl LP, Contemporary COP 043) – EX/EX

This Contemporary pressing captures Benny Golson in a confident late-1950s small-group setting with a strong lineup drawn from the New York hard-bop scene. The sound is warm and direct, with Golson’s tenor phrasing supported by a tight rhythm section and clear, unforced recording. Key pieces include “Something in B Flat,” “Whisper Not,” and “Step Lightly,” each showing his characteristic sense of structure and melody. Boplicity UK reissue.
