Personnel:
Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Ray Bryant (piano); Tom Bryant (bass); Al Harewood (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on June 20, 1959.

                 Like its same-year companion GROOVIN' WITH GOLSON, 1959's GONE WITH GOLSON pairs composer/arranger/saxophonist Benny Golson with trombonist Curtis Fuller (shortly after this release, the two formed the Jazztet with Art Farmer). Like GROOVIN', GONE offers solid hard-bop fare with an aura of elegance and relaxation. Golson's breathy tone on the tenor qualifies the mellow, in-the-cut vibe here, which is not to say the set doesn't cook.

Both Golson and Fuller (whose extremely precise trombone technique distinguishes him from most players) blow mightily through rhythmically and harmonically complex lines, yet manage keep the whole at a sophisticated reserve. Fuller contributes one of his own compositions (the smoothly swinging "A Bit of Heaven"), which fits nicely alongside Golson's three originals (the smoky "Blues After Dark," "Soul Me," which pushes beyond standard gospel-derived soul-jazz, and the up-tempo "Jam for Bobbie"). A lyrical but lively reading of "Autumn Leaves" and pianist Ray Bryant's "Staccato Swing" (perhaps the record's stand-out track) showcase nice solos all around. Bassist Tom Bryant (Ray's brother) and drummer Al Harewood complete the tight rhythm section, fleshing out the sound on this fine Prestige date.
