The Hottest New Group in Jazz, also known by its full title Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross!: "The Hottest New Group in Jazz" or alternatively considered self-titled, [5] is the fourth album by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, released in December 1959. The title is a quote from Downbeat magazine. The CD reissue combines the full original album with the group's two other Columbia albums: the 1961 LP Lambert, Hendricks & Ross Sing Ellington and the 1962 LP High Flying. The CD release additionally includes seven previously unreleased "rarities", recorded in 1962. On all these recordings, the group is backed up by the Ike Isaacs Trio.
