Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded primarily at the Renaissance Club in Hollywood, this session features the powerhouse sextet configuration that dominated the early 1960s hard bop scene. Anchored by the thunderous polyrhythms of the leader, the frontline of Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, and Curtis Fuller tackles sophisticated, highly energetic original compositions. It serves as a quintessential, fiercely swinging document of the legendary ensemble operating at peak telepathic synergy.
