The record

A cool-school summit built around Ross's sly, agile phrasing, with Mulligan's pianoless quartet approach opened up to make room for her voice as another horn in the front line. Farmer and Baker trade off on trumpet, giving this West Coast date a rotating cast of lyrical foils rare for a singer's session.
