The record
A quietly assured West Coast date from the guitar-alto-bass-drums lineup, piano-less and airy, letting Foster's cool, Konitz-adjacent tone breathe over Koonse's understated comping. Cut for the small Revelation imprint in early '69, it's a low-key gem from the era's late-cool underground.
