The record
A rare in-the-room document from Chicago's South Side scene, this club date pairs the quintet's front line with local tenor Nicky Hill for a loose, extended blowing session. Cut just months before Brown's death, it's a glimpse of the trumpeter unbuttoned, stretching out far past the discipline of his studio dates.
