The record
A West Coast arranger's suite that leans on woodwind color and brass shading rather than blowing-session heat, with Paul Horn's flute and Joe Burnett's flugelhorn giving the writing a soft-focus, chamber-jazz sheen. Grove's orchestral ambitions place this among Pacific Jazz's more compositionally minded early-'60s dates.
