The record
A late-'50s reunion of the Woody Herman reed section that made "Four Brothers" a saxophone-section blueprint, with Steward, Cohn, Sims, and Chaloff trading the light, Lester Young-derived tone that defined the sound. Elliot Lawrence and Don Lamond round out a session built purely on section chemistry.
