The record
Caught live at the Manhattan club that named the date, this sextet finds Russell developing his modal theories in real time, Baker's trombone and Kiger's trumpet threading through knotty charts. A rare look at Russell fronting a working band on Decca before his fuller turn toward modal composition.
