The record
A West Coast big-band date built on a deep reed section -- Curtis Amy, Joe Maini, Clifford Scott among them -- with Horace Tapscott's trombone adding weight beneath the swagger. Onzy Matthews leads from the piano bench, working the mid-'60s Capitol groove where blues phrasing meets big-band polish.
