Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on the intense traditional jazz revival, the legendary soprano saxophonist pairs with the aggressive, driving cornet of Wild Bill Davison. The session bristles with the loose, polyphonic energy and relentless swing of early Chicago and New Orleans styles. Released by Blue Note, it stands as a fierce, high-energy counterpoint to the intellectual complexities of the emerging bebop scene.
