The record

Cut in the late-60s MPS heyday, this trio date catches Hammer before his fusion fame, still leaning on acoustic piano chops alongside a young George Mraz's electric bass. A rare, tightly-wound European session where post-bop touches brush against the electric currents Hammer would soon chase full-time.
