The record
Cut live at the Five Spot on Halloween night '66, this quintet carries the bebop torch with Barry Harris anchoring the harmony and Billy Higgins keeping everything loose and swinging underneath. McPherson and Hillyer, both steeped in the Mingus band's fire, trade choruses with the kind of blues-drenched fluency that made hard bop refuse to die quietly.
