The record
A television-era jazz curiosity for Roulette, catching the multi-talented Allen at the keys alongside serious road warriors -- a young Gary Peacock on bass, Terry Gibbs on vibes, Doc Severinsen sitting in on trumpet. Loose, club-set energy from a room built for talk and swing in equal measure.
