Detroit - New York Junction

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking a brief but vital hiatus from the Count Basie Orchestra, the incredibly sophisticated trumpeter bridges his Midwestern roots with the fierce, competitive energy of the New York scene. The exceptionally swinging quintet date features stellar, highly fluid contributions from Billy Mitchell on tenor saxophone and Kenny Burrell on guitar. The deeply swinging, harmonically advanced original compositions firmly established the leader as a premier modern brass stylist.
