The record
A late-'60s Prestige date that leans into the era's fascination with electrified tone -- Terry's varitone-fed tenor cutting against Mabern's electric piano while Carter and Waits keep things grounded in hard-swinging soul-jazz. Owens' flugelhorn adds a burnished warmth that balances the record's more experimental textures.
