The record
A West Coast date built around Max Albright's drums, with Buddy Collette and William Green's reeds threaded through Gene Cipriano's oboe and Chuck Gentry's clarinet for an unusually textured front line. Gerald Wiggins' piano and the double-bass pairing of Curtis Counce and Joe Comfort give this 1956 session its easy, chamber-jazz lift.
