Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing a tremendously vital, short-lived quintet featuring a young Donald Byrd and Phil Woods, this Greenwich Village club date bristles with intense nocturnal energy. The pianist's driving, sophisticated bop compositions provide a fiercely rhythmic canvas for the dense, urban horn improvisations.
