The record
Archival tapes capturing Land's California quintet mid-decade, with Carmell Jones' trumpet trading lines against that tenor's dark, searching tone. A Reel To Real dig that fills in the West Coast hard bop record with players -- Hawes, the Montgomery brothers -- who rarely got their due on wax.
