The record
A Third Stream-leaning date from the Fantasy roster, with LaPorta's clarinet and alto weaving through unusual voicings against Schlinger's baritone and Cirillo's angular piano. Chamber-jazz ambitions and cool-toned arranging mark this as a product of mid-'50s experimentation beyond the standard bop combo format.
