The record
A tight, under-the-radar hard bop date pairing Ousley's brawny tenor with Charles Davis's baritone and Julian Priester's trombone for a horn-heavy front line rarely heard on a leader session. Phil Wright, Tommy Williams, and Walter Perkins keep the rhythm section lean, letting the two-sax-plus-trombone blend do the talking.
