This 2-CD set presents Richardsons first three albums as a leader, recorded between 1958 and 1962.
On his debut album Midnight Oil, he wrote all compositions except Caravan and Lyric. Backed by a solid rhythm section and surrounded by high-calibre soloists in trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, guitarist Kenny Burrell and the brilliant pianist Hank Jones, he showed his forte was flute, but proved to be also a strong soloist on tenor.
On Roamin with Richardson, with a hard-driving quartet, he adds baritone to the mix, with support from pianist Richard Wyands, bassist George Tucker and drummer Charlie Persip.
Going to the Movies is an excursion into soundtrack territory, again with Richardson on flute, tenor and baritone, along with Les Spann on flute, a typically deft Wyands, bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Grady Tate.
