A swinging hard bop track by the talented tenor sax man and composer/arranger, Benny Golson, “A Bit of Heaven” can be found on the 1959 album Gone With Golson.

Benny Golson – A Bit of Heaven

The tune features wonderful solos by the often overlooked Golson and the great trombonist Curtis Fuller, who wrote it. The rest of the bouncy group for this session includes Al Harewood on drums and the brothers Tommy and Ray Bryant on bass and piano respectively. Moving along at a jaunty 4:26 and featuring tight team playing, “A Bit of Heaven” more than lives up to its title with Golson coolly demonstrating his impressive range amongst fine company.
