The record
An off-kilter chamber date pairing Fuller's trombone with a double french horn front line, giving the frontline a plush, brassy weight rarely heard on Prestige. Hawes sits in on piano alongside Teddy Charles, lending West Coast cool to a New York session already stretched by Shihab's alto and Amram's classical-leaning horn work.
