The record
A Chicago-scene tribute cut for Vee Jay, with Sullivan's doubling on trumpet and flugelhorn giving the frontline extra bite alongside Nicky Hill's tenor. Jodie Christian's piano and the tandem drum work of Anderson and Campbell root it in the era's hard-driving, bebop-schooled Midwest sound.
