The record
Recorded for Mainstream in 1971, this finds Haynes leading a younger, funk-charged crew through dense percussion and electric bass grooves, with George Adams and Hannibal Marvin Peterson stretching out over the rhythm. A snapshot of a bebop master bending toward the era's fusion currents without losing his snap.
