The record
A curious mid-'60s crossover: alto firebrand Sonny Simmons and Prince Lasha's exploratory reeds paired with the bossa tres rhythm section for a set that bridges free-leaning jazz phrasing and Brazilian lilt. Clifford Jordan's presence adds another sharp horn voice to a session that finds Audio Fidelity chasing the era's bossa nova wave with genuinely adventurous players.
