The record
A hard-bop session cut for Blue Note with a rhythm section that could anchor anything -- Clark, Chambers, and Taylor at their most locked-in -- while Rouse's tenor sparks off the trumpet lead. Smith's second and final date for the label, a brief but sharp footnote to a criminally short discography.
