The record
A pre-quartet snapshot of Brubeck working in trio format, with Cal Tjader still behind the kit rather than the vibraphone he'd later make his name on. Loose, exploratory West Coast jazz from Fantasy's earliest days, before "time experiments" and Paul Desmond reshaped the group's identity.
