The record
Another slice of the same summer '75 European sessions, with Drew's harmonic ease and NHOP's rock-solid low end giving Gordon room to stretch his tenor lines long and unhurried. This Nordic rhythm section knew his phrasing intimately by then, and it shows in the easy conversational give of the quartet.
