The record
A vault-clearing session from Evans's Verve years, stacked with an almost absurd depth of bass talent -- Chambers, Carter, Peacock, Hinton, Davis, Cranshaw -- rotating beneath reed voices as varied as Lacy, Woods, and Shorter. A glimpse into the arranger's restless studio process, where personnel shifted like colors on a palette even when the results went unissued for years.
