The record

Curtis steps outside his R&B session-man day job here, trading honks for a bluesier, straight-ahead attack alongside Wynton Kelly's swing and the Chambers-Jones double-bass lineup. A tight, groove-heavy Prestige date that shows the tenor man could hang comfortably in Nat Adderley's hard-bop circle.
