Strictly speaking, the Prestige All Stars were not yet permanent fixtures in the jazz business, but an exquisite compilation of young promising talents. The 1956 album "All Night Long" gathers some of the best musicians on the New York scene under the relaxed direction of guitarist Kenny Burrell - including trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, flutist Jerome Richardson, pianist Mal Waldron and, in the rhythm section, Doug Watkins and Arthur Taylor. The relaxed, swinging pulse of the LP and the high quality of the musical performance have long been the hallmark of every Burrel project.
One of the great jam session recordings of the 1950s, All Night Long was under the relaxed direction of Kenny Burrell. The guitarist gathered together some of the finest young players on the New York scene, including Donald Byrd on trumpet and tenor saxophonists Hank Mobley and Jerome Richardson, one of the unsung heroes of the flute in jazz. Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins and Arthur Taylor were the rhythm section. The musical formats were uncomplicated; "All Night Long" a blues with a bridge, Waldron's "Flickers" a 16-bar pattern, Mobley's two originals based on familiar 32-bar chord sequences. From these simple, classic bases were launched performances with the hallmarks that have long identified any Burrell project: Relaxation, swing and high standards of musicianship.
