  5. This sounds great. The music itself, the drums, the instrumentation that somehow almost sounds like a big band despite being a quintet…apparently there are other instruments added in although the jacket doesn’t list instrumentation. I know Nat Adderley is on cornet.

    So glad I took a chance on this.

  7. Busy work days make getting up every 20 mins to flip a record especially appreciated.

    Another first play - and it’s a good one, I can tell already.
