The record
Bebop trumpet at full boil, cut for Savoy in early '48 with a stacked frontline -- J.J. Johnson's trombone, a young Jimmy Heath on alto, Milt Jackson's vibes shimmering underneath. A snapshot of the music's transitional moment, with Oscar Pettiford and Percy Heath splitting bass duties across the date.
