The Other Side of Benny Golson


The Other Side of Benny Golson is the third album by saxophonist Benny Golson featuring performances recorded in late 1958 and originally released on the Riverside label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic says, "Tenor-saxophonist Benny Golson's third recording as a leader was significant in two ways. It was his first opportunity to work with trombonist Curtis Fuller and it was one of his first chances to really stretch out on record as a soloist; up to this point Golson was possibly better known as a composer".
