The record
A Chicago-rooted date cut for Riverside, pairing trumpeter Serrano with a young Bunky Green and pianist Jodie Christian for a set of blues-drenched hard bop. Pete La Roca's presence on drums adds a restless, forward-leaning pulse to what's otherwise a tight, unassuming session from the label's early-60s output.
