The record
Caught on a European stage in late 1960, this quintet -- with Victor Feldman's brief but sparkling tenure at the piano -- digs into hard-bop soul with the loose, combustible energy that studio dates could only hint at. Sam Jones and Louis Hayes keep the groove taut while the Adderley brothers trade phrases with the easy chemistry of a working band on the road.
