The record
A quietly assured hard bop date from the tenor man's brief run as a Blue Note leader, with Lee Morgan's brass cutting against Sonny Clark's clean comping and Blakey's ever-propulsive kit work. Brooks' tone stays warm and unhurried throughout, proof of why players like Morgan trusted him on their own sessions.

Pressings
We hold no original-era LP for this title. The earliest pressing on file is a 1980 Japanese Blue Note, GXF 3072, a limited edition, with GXK 8162 following in 1981 and a promo BRP-8043 in 1992. Every copy we list is Japanese, so condition and price will track that market rather than the US Blue Note collector market. Buy the cleanest jacket you can find.
