The record
Cut for Jazz Workshop in 1961, this is a working band's record, not a pickup date -- McPherson and Hillyer sharpening bebop's vocabulary under Harris's watch, hard-driving and direct.
Session personnel
- Charles McPherson — alto saxophone
- Ernie Farrow — bass
- Clifford Jarvis — drums
- Barry Harris — piano
- Lonnie Hillyer — trumpet

Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1961 US Riverside, RLP 413, mono with a deep groove. Stereo arrives in 1962 as RLP 9413, alongside further mono copies of RLP 413 and a mono promo -- close enough in date that condition should decide it rather than format snobbery. Japan's 1982 SMJ-6303 is the only reissue of substance in our file. The undated RLP-12-413 is a later mono repress.
