The record
Sam Jones steps up front here, leading a shifting cast of Riverside heavyweights through a session built on bottom-end logic -- fitting for a bassist's date. With Wynton Kelly and Joe Zawinul splitting piano duties and a horn section stacked deep, the record has a loose, blues-rooted warmth that never overplays its hand.
