The record

A West Coast package date riding the "soul jazz" wave, with three rotating piano-bass-drums trios (Castro, McCann, Ball/Trotter and their rhythm partners) framing Daniel Jackson's tenor. Prime late-'50s World Pacific ensemble work, more about the deep sideman pool than any single leader's stamp.
