The record
A guitar-led rhythm section rather than piano gives this quartet its airy, unhurried feel, with McKusick's cool-toned alto and clarinet floating over Galbraith, Hinton and Johnson -- New York studio pros who quietly powered countless 1950s dates. Part of the East Coast Jazz series that captured that era's understated, arranger-minded sound.
