AllMusic Staff Pick - February 13, 2025

1966

Easily regarded as one of the finest outings by this quintet, this is as a solid groundbreaking meld of melodic hard bop and soul jazz. It at not only stood out from the group's other live recordings form the era but influenced the tradition at large in the mid 1960s.
