The record

A crisp late-'56 Prestige date pairing two of bebop's sharpest young voices -- Woods' bright, Bird-schooled alto against Byrd's clean-lined trumpet -- with Al Haig's harmonic savvy anchoring the frontline. Kotick and Persip keep it swinging hard, a snapshot of the music's next generation making its case.
