The record
A latter-day Milestone shuffle through Blue Mitchell's late-'50s tape vault, stacking multiple rhythm sections and reed men across sessions into one set. Pepper Adams and Pat Patrick trade baritone weight while Philly Joe Jones and Art Blakey split drum duties, a deep-catalog curio for hard bop completists.
