The record
A rare glimpse of a Howard University-bred hard bop unit, cut for Riverside just as Andrew White was sharpening the voice he'd later apply to Coltrane transcriptions. Tight ensemble writing and confident young soloists make this a footnote worth digging for in the label's early-'60s run.
