The record

A hard-driving 1961 blowing session cut for Jazzland, pairing the young Woody Herman-schooled tenor with Nat Adderley's cornet and Barry Harris's sure-footed comping. Sam Jones and Walter Perkins keep the pulse taut while Nistico digs in with the muscular, Trane-adjacent tenor sound that would soon land him steady work in Herman's Herd.
