Benny Golson's second album as a leader (reissued on CD in the OJC series) is a solid hard bop date featuring the tenorman in a quintet with trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Max Roach. The all-star group performs three Golson originals (none of which really caught on), a pair of Gigi Gryce tunes (best known is "Hymn to the Orient") and the standard "Namely Yo. Excellent playing on an above-average set that defines the modern mainstream of 1957 jazz.

Benny Golson's "The Modern Touch," recorded in December 1957, was only his second recording as a leader for the Riverside label, but by this point in his career he had already lent his compositional and arranging talents to dozens of other classic jazz albums. Don't get me wrong "The Modern Touch".
