The record
A short-lived trumpet voice gets prime backing here -- Wynton Kelly's crisp comping, Jimmy Cobb's brush-light swing, and a young Ron Carter still finding his footing, with Jimmy Heath's tenor rounding out the frontline. Sleet's lone leader date, cut in 1961, stands as a quiet footnote to a criminally slim discography.
