Before World War II ended, Malinovsky had plenty of practice in improvising offensives. As commander of a Ukrainian army group, he directed the capture of Bucharest, Budapest and Vienna.

But when he raised his hamlike right hand and with popping fingers lined out the beat, the music of his quintet came pouring forth with an urgent, camp-meeting-style exuberance that no other group can come close to matching these days...
