This rare and longtime hard-to-find album was conceived to show how enjoyable cool trumpets can sound. Featured "Cool Gabriels" are Conte Candoli, Nick Travis, Don Stratton, Bernie Glow, Phil Sunkel, Al de Risi and Dick Sherman. The tune contained in this album were selected specifically to give each "Gabriel" a chance to show his stuff and also to demonstrate the various moods that could be brilliantly exemplified wit a trumpet ensemble. The fun that the musicians had making these recordings is apparent on every selection, including the Gerry Mulligan tunes, the clever Al Cohn items 'Cupcake' and 'Spooky', John Benson Brooks' devilish 'Nick', Paul Selden's somber 'Something Blue', and Elliot Lawrence's light compositions.

We use the following grades:
M (mint, new sealed records only get this grade),
NM (flawless but opened record),
VG+ (a high grade from us, record may show signs of use, but is in overall great shape and should play free from defect),
VG (record may have some minor surface marks, but nothing that should detract from the listenability),
VG- (may have a number of surface marks and may play with some noise, but still listenable and a decent play copy)
G (we rarely list anything with this grade unless it is highly rare and valued, may have many surface marks, but still playable)
