The record
A crack West Coast lineup stretches out with the easy authority of a working band, Rosolino and Candoli trading bright, agile lines over Sonny Clark's crisp comping. Rumsey's Hermosa Beach crew brings big-league bebop chops to the cool school, cut for Contemporary at the height of the label's Lighthouse run.
