The record
A late-'50s snapshot assembled by critic-turned-producer Leonard Feather, pairing Thad Jones and Idrees Sulieman's brass with Phil Woods' alto over the Wallington-Russell-Taylor/Best rhythm engine. A bop-pedigreed session that nods to Swing Street's history while catching these players in fine, unfussy form.
