The record
A West Coast date for an East Coast frontline -- Dorham's brass-bright trumpet paired with McLean's tart, urgent alto, riding a rhythm section built for swing. Bishop, Vinnegar, and Taylor keep things loose but grounded, a hard-bop session that feels like a conversation among peers rather than a leader date.
Session personnel
- Jackie McLean — alto saxophone [alto]
- Leroy Vinnegar — bass
