Album Notes & Community Reviews
True to its title, 'Happy Time' is an immensely buoyant and swinging piano trio date led by Junior Mance. The album is deeply rooted in the blues, showcasing Mance's ability to infuse hard bop changes with the joyous, earthy grit of gospel and soul jazz. It stands as a remarkably consistent, highly accessible entry in his early discography as a bandleader.
