The record
A tight 1963 New Jazz date pairing Poindexter's alto and soprano with Booker Ervin's tenor and Al Grey's trombone for a horn-heavy, blues-soaked front line. Gildo Mahones, George Tucker, and Jimmie Smith keep the groove lean underneath, giving the frontline plenty of room to trade and dig in.
