One of the finest jazz albums ever recorded. The rhythm section is the outrageous mix of Jimmy Garrison, Dick Katz, and Jo Jones Carter's charts are simply devine, Carter is magic. It swings and swings and reminds us how bebop harmonic innovation was not a revolution but an evolution. Hawkins was an emissary from music heaven to teach us the joy and intellectual power of tone, sound, rhythm. Yes, this disc is a defining moment in jazz music.
