The record
A Chicago-scene date on Argo that leans big-band muscle into small-group swing, with Freddie Green's rhythm guitar anchoring things alongside Gus Johnson's drive. Price's alto cuts through a horn-heavy lineup built for riffing, hard-swinging sides true to the label's late-'50s house sound.
