The New York Scene is an album by jazz pianist George Wallington, trumpet player Donald Byrd, alto saxophone player Phil Woods, bassist Teddy Kotick, and drummer Nick Stabulas recorded in 1957 and released the same year by Prestige Records. [1] [2]
Jazz critic Scott Yanow noted, "The emphasis is on hard-swinging and this set should greatly please straightahead jazz fans." [1] Richard Cook of The Penguin Guide to Jazz stated that Wallington's solos on the album, unlike those of his preceding albums, had "begun to skin bebop language back to something more elemental."
