Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembled by the pioneering bebop drummer, this fiercely swinging East Coast session features a stellar, highly competitive ensemble including Milt Jackson and Frank Wess. The tracks beautifully balance the relaxed, highly melodic elegance of the cool jazz aesthetic with the aggressive, blues-drenched rhythmic drive that would soon define the hard bop movement.
