The record
A rare mid-'50s cool-school date pairing Stein's alto and tenor with trumpeter Warren Fitzgerald, backed by a young Paul Motian and Bob Dorough well before their better-known work. Overseas Records gave it a quiet release, leaving this quintet session a lesser-known artifact of the era's West Coast-tinged small-group sound.
