The record
A 1957 Savoy date stacked with talent still finding its footing -- Bill Evans and Hank Jones trade the piano bench while Woods and Golson round out a horn front with Shihab's own burly baritone. A rare leader outing for Shihab before his Feldman/Blakey sideman years and eventual move to Europe.
