Centerpiece: Live at the Blue Note (1995)

Trombonist Al Grey may be the leader of this relaxed, swinging sextet, but every member pulls his weight. Tart-toned trumpeter Harry ''Sweets'' Edison leads on the title track, which he composed. Pianist Junior Mance — whose inspired playing on his irresistible, bluesy shuffle, ''South Side,'' provides the Centerpiece: Live at the Blue Notes high point — is better showcased here than on his own last CD.
