The record
A tight early-'60s hard bop session with drummer Barry Miles leading from behind the kit, penning the book for a two-tenor-plus-trumpet front line. Duke Jordan's presence at the piano gives it real pedigree, and Charlie Parker Records' small-label grit suits the date's unfussy, blowing-session feel.
