The record
A blues-soaked sextet-plus date cut for Chicago's Argo, with the trombonist's fat Basie-schooled tone riding a frontline of Byrd and Burns, plus a young Herbie Hancock and Bobby Hutcherson filling out the rhythm section. Loose, swinging, and hard-bop adjacent -- a solid snapshot of early-60s working-band jazz.
