The record
Guitarist and flutist Les Spann steps out as leader with a hard-bop-meets-chamber-jazz lineup, Julius Watkins' french horn lending an unusual burnished color alongside Tommy Flanagan's crisp comping. A rare turn in the spotlight for a versatile sideman, cut for Jazzland at the top of the '60s.
