The record
A one-off Blue Note session pairing Motor City transplants with New York rhythm players, Thad Jones's cornet-bright lines trading against Billy Mitchell's tenor while Flanagan and Burrell keep the swing loose and conversational. Pettiford and Shadow Wilson anchor a date that feels like a friendly cutting session between two scenes rather than a leader date proper.
