The record

A road-tested big band caught on tour, stacking two trombones and a young Freddie Hubbard alongside Phil Woods and Sahib Shihab for muscular, brass-heavy charts. Fuller's horn threads through the ensemble with the loose, well-drilled swagger of a working unit rather than a studio-only date.
