The record
A stacked reed section -- Cannonball Adderley, Yusef Lateef, Budd Johnson among them -- gives this Verve big band date its bite, with Brown anchoring alongside fellow bassist Sam Jones and pianist Tommy Flanagan. A rare turn as bandleader for one of jazz's most in-demand sidemen, swinging hard on charts built for a crowded, talent-rich horn line.
