The record
A West Coast date built on bass and groove, with Ray Crawford and Tommy Tedesco's guitars trading lines over Victor Feldman's piano and Larry Bunker's vibes, while Patato Valdes' congas keep things loose and Latin-tinged. Tucker's leader outing for the obscure Äva imprint is a snapshot of early-60s LA session talent stretching out on relaxed, groove-first material.
