The record
Recorded live in Hollywood just before Christmas 1952, this quartet date pairs the tenor man with Hampton Hawes's blues-drenched piano and the tight rhythm team of Manne and Mondragon. Xanadu's release preserves an early, loose-limbed encounter years ahead of the more polished studio work these four would later be tied to.
