The record

Recorded abroad with Brookmeyer newly in Baker's old chair, the quartet swaps studio polish for a looser two-horn dialogue over Mitchell's walking bass. Contrapuntal writing built for a room, not a control booth.

Session personnel

  • Gerry Mulligan — baritone saxophone
  • Red Mitchell — bass
  • Frank Isola — drums
  • Bob Brookmeyer — valve trombone
