Booker Little is an album by American jazz trumpeter Booker Little featuring performances recorded in 1960 for the label.[1]
Reception[]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "Trumpeter Booker Little's second session as a leader (there would only be four) is a quartet outing that puts the emphasis on relaxed tempoes. Little's immediately recognizable melancholy sound and lyrical style are heard in top form".[2]
