The record
Two overlapping frontlines of hard bop heavyweights, cut for Savoy the same year Fuller was lighting up Blue Note dates -- Golson's charts giving Morgan, Jones, and the trombonist's own burnished tone room to stretch. A young McCoy Tyner sits in alongside Wynton Kelly, a quiet preview of the sound he'd soon bring to Coltrane's quartet.
