The record
Pepper Adams' baritone and Tommy Flanagan's piano give this 1960 date real weight, with a young Ron Carter already sounding assured on bass. McGhee cuts a hard, blues-soaked line through Bennie Green's trombone and Roland Alexander's reeds, undimmed a decade after his bebop breakthrough.
