The record

Cut soon after his Blue Note years, this Atlantic session leans into greasy, groove-heavy territory, Barretto's percussion and Spaulding's alto and flute giving it a Latin-tinged kick. Dailey and the rhythm section keep things loose and funky throughout.

Session personnel

  • Bob Cunningham — bass
  • Ray Appleton — drums
  • James Spaulding — flute, alto saxophone
  • Ray Barretto — percussion
  • Albert Dailey — piano
  • Freddie Hubbard — trumpet, flugelhorn

Pressings

The earliest on file is a 1967 US Atlantic stereo, SD 1477, in a gatefold; the mono, catalogued simply 1477, dates from the same year and includes a Monarch pressing. Atlantic kept SD 1477 in print through 1977, then renumbered it 90466-1-Y in 1985. Speakers Corner's 2017 reissue, again SD 1477, is the audiophile cut -- remastered, 180g, gatefold.

Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 49 pressings on file.
