The record
A Nat Hentoff-era Candid date built around Massey's trumpet and pen, with Julius Watkins' french horn giving the frontline an unusual, burnished weight. Jimmy Garrison anchors the rhythm section a year before joining Coltrane's quartet, tying this obscure gem directly to the tenor man honored in its title.
