The record

Cut in Sweden with a rhythm section of touring American mainstays -- Tommy Potter's bass work traces back to Bird's classic quintet, Joe Harris a fixture of the Dizzy Gillespie big band -- this trio date catches Redd early, before his Blue Note run, sharpening the hard-bop piano voice he'd bring to "The Connection."
