The record
By late 1963 Barron's writing had grown angular, restless, pulling away from strict hard-bop form -- Ted Curson's trumpet bites into it, Ronnie Boykins and Dick Berk keep it grounded. A quietly adventurous session for Chiaroscuro, with young Kenny already probing the corners he'd later master.
