Junior Mance is well-known for his  soulful bluesy style, but he is also expert at playing bop standards. He started  playing professionally when he was ten. Mance worked with Gene Ammons in Chicago  during 1947-1949, played with Lester Young (1950), and was with the Ammons-Sonny  Stitt group until he was drafted. He was the house pianist at Chicago's Bee Hive  (1953-1954), worked as Dinah Washington's accompanist (1954-1955), was in the  first Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1956-1957), and then spent two years touring  with Dizzy Gillespie (1958-1960). After a few months with the Eddie "Lockjaw"  Davis/Johnny Griffin group, Mance formed his own trio and has mostly been a  leader ever since. He has led sessions for Verve, Jazzland, Riverside, Capitol,  Atlantic, Milestone, Polydor, Inner City, JSP, Nilva, Sackville, and Bee Hive,  among other labels.
