The record
A Denver-era session cut far from the New York scene that made his name with Kenny Dorham and Charles Mingus, finding Monterose leading a lesser-known regional rhythm section. Small-label evidence of a restless, undersung tenor voice still burning hard well past the hard-bop spotlight years.
Session personnel
- Gary Allen — bass
- Joe Abodeely — drums
- Dale Oehler — piano
