The record
A Basie-band tenor man steps out on his own, leading a hard-swinging sextet stocked with fellow big-band veterans like trumpeter Sonny Cohn. Cut for the short-lived Master Jazz label in 1974, it's a solid, unpretentious session built on riffing horns and a firm rhythm section rather than fusion trends of the day.
