The record
A trombonist steeped in the Chicago and Sun Ra lineage steps out under his own name, backed by a rhythm section built for propulsion -- Flanagan's harmonic ease, Sam Jones anchoring, Elvin Jones already restless behind the beat. Jimmy Heath's tenor adds a second horn voice with real hard-bop pedigree, making this a tight, blowing-session snapshot of 1960 Riverside craft.
