The record
A late-'50s Jazztone date that leans on the era's sharpest arranging minds, with Al Cohn and Zoot Sims trading tenor lines over a band built for swing and sleek, modern voicings. Lawrence keeps the piano chair modest, letting the reed section -- McKusick, Marowitz, O'Kane among them -- carry the charts' bite.
