The record
A crisp document of early bebop pianism, pairing Haig's spare trio work with a quintet date alongside Kenny Dorham and James Moody -- Max Roach's brushwork sharpens the fast, harmonically sure lines. Recorded in 1949, it shows Haig's Bird-and-Diz pedigree translating into leader dates of real economy and swing.
