The record
A patchwork MetroJazz set stitching together loose, late-'50s dates -- Rollins trading tenor lines with Teddy Edwards, backed by shifting rhythm crews pairing Heath and Kay's MJQ discipline against the looser Vinnegar-Higgins pulse. A curious footnote in Rollins's catalogue, more jam-session snapshot than statement.
