The record
A drummer's date in the truest sense, with Jones stepping out from the Miles Davis rhythm section to lead his own front line of underappreciated players like Bill Barron and Walter Davis Jr. Paul Chambers anchors the session, giving Jones room to push and prod without ever overplaying his hand.
