The record
A moonlighting session for the Basie rhythm section and horns, swapping the Count's piano chair for Barry Harris while Freddie Green's guitar keeps that unmistakable pulse intact. With three tenors and Al Grey's trombone in the mix, it's a loose, blowing-session take on the big-band vocabulary these players built their names on.
