Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting the first half of a legendary Brooklyn club date, this album captures a ferocious, extended trumpet duel between the leader and his peer, Lee Morgan. The highly combative atmosphere pushes both musicians to execute blindingly fast, physically exhausting improvisational flights over a muscular rhythm section. The release perfectly distills the aggressive, highly competitive nature of mid-sixties hard bop live performance.
