The record
Curson and Booker Ervin share a front line built on old Mingus-band instincts, argumentative and blues-drenched over Jimmy Woode and Edgar Bateman's steady grip. Cut in Europe in 1966 for Fontana, the pocket trumpet adds extra bite to the exchanges.
Session personnel
- Jimmy Woode — bass
- Edgar Bateman — drums
- Booker Ervin — tenor saxophone
- Ted Curson — trumpet, trumpet [pocket]

Pressings
A thin file. The earliest pressing on file is the 1966 Dutch Fontana stereo, 883 910 JCY, and an undated UK copy carries the same number. Japan issued it in 1967 as SFON-7099 and again in 1984 on 195J-27, that one a promo. We list no US pressing at all, so a European Fontana is the realistic target and condition will decide what a copy is worth more than any label detail.
