The record

A live club date capturing the sextet mid-stride, with Farmer's burnished flugelhorn and Golson's tightly voiced horn charts working in easy tandem over Walton's crisp comping. Cadet's brief custody of this frontline yields a loose, blowing-session feel rare in the group's more arranged studio dates.

Session personnel

  • Albert Heath — drums
