Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembling an expanded ensemble featuring guest soloists like Jon Eardley, this live compilation captures the baritone saxophonist actively stretching beyond his famous chordless quartet format. The brilliantly swinging, highly contrapuntal arrangements remain a definitive, highly energetic pillar of the West Coast jazz movement.
