The record
A mid-'60s Brunswick date built on Gene Roland's charts, stacked with mainstream-swing heavyweights -- Cohn and Sims trading tenor lines, Terry and Young sparring on trumpets, Knepper's trombone rounding out the front line. A tight, big-toned session that plays like an all-star reunion of the era's most simpatico section players.
