The record
Duke Jordan's harmonic sense and Philly Joe Jones's crackling time frame Gryce's alto against the trumpeter's lyrical lines, cut just before the pair formalized their partnership in the Jazztet. Hard bop with a compositional streak, recorded for Prestige subsidiary Original Jazz Classics in late '55.
