The record
Recorded for Shirley Clarke's film about junk and jazz musicians, this session sets McGhee's trumpet against Tina Brooks' criminally underrecorded tenor, Milt Hinton and Osie Johnson holding the pulse steady. Lean and moody, it doubles as a snapshot of downtown jazz's grittier edges in 1960.
