The record

A muscular two-tenor-plus-alto session cut for Prestige during Ervin's most fertile solo run, with Horace Parlan's blues-rooted comping anchoring the front line's fire. Strozier's alto adds a keen, bright edge against Ervin's big Texas tenor tone, making for a session that swings hard without losing its soul-jazz grit.
