The record
A tight quartet date finding the altoist paired again with longtime foil Sal Mosca, whose angular, Tristano-schooled comping keeps the harmony slightly off-kilter beneath that famously cool, unhurried tone. Carter and Alexander hold the pulse loose and conversational, letting the frontline's counterpoint breathe in classic early-'70s Milestone fashion.
