The record
A double-bass frontline with Buster Williams and Ray Brown gives this date its unusual weight, while Roy Ayers' vibes lighten the pocket into something breezy and modal. Wilson's touch stays understated throughout -- a pianist's session that trusts the group sound over the leader's spotlight.
