The record
A quiet gem from Savoy's mid-'50s output, this Lennie Tristano-school session pairs Ronnie Ball's crisp, linear pianism with Ted Brown's cool-toned tenor and Willie Dennis's fluid trombone. Wendell Marshall and Kenny Clarke anchor the date with the kind of understated swing that let this cerebral, West Coast-adjacent sound breathe.
