The record

A '64 Verve summit that pairs Ray Brown's rock-steady bass with Milt Jackson's vibes and Wild Bill Davis's organ, giving the session a soul-jazz warmth alongside straight swing. Hank Jones and Kenny Burrell round out a first-call rhythm section, with Marion Williams's gospel-trained voice adding an unexpected, church-rooted lift.
