The record
A West Coast reed-heavy summit built around Lyle Murphy's twelve-tone-inflected writing, with Buddy Collette, Frank Morgan, and Bob Gordon lending distinct voices to charts that push past standard bebop harmony. A curious, arranger-driven session from the late-50s GNP roster, more concerned with structure and sonority than blowing choruses.
