The record
A mid-'70s summit for trombonist Al Grey, pairing his blues-drenched slide with tenor men Hal Singer and Jimmy Forrest and the ever-tasteful Tommy Flanagan on piano. The Franco-American lineup and Stan Hunter's organ give this Classic Jazz date a loose, soulful swing rooted in Grey's Basie-honed sensibility.
