The record
A UK reissue drawing together Roach's working units, pairing the Turrentine brothers and Clifford Jordan's tenor with Abbey Lincoln's vocals and Julian Priester's trombone across a shifting frontline. Affinity's crate-dig approach makes this a useful window into Roach's early-60s working bands, tightly drilled and blues-rooted.
