The record
A trumpeter's elegy cut just months after Eric Dolphy's death, with Bill Barron's tenor and clarinet pushing the frontline into keening, mournful territory. Recorded for the French Fontana/Byg lineage before Arista reissue, it stands as one of Curson's most personal post-Mingus statements.
