For those keeping score at home.... 1962 Art Blakey – drums Freddie Hubbard – trumpet Curtis Fuller – trombone Wayne Shorter – tenor saxophone Cedar Walton – piano Reggie Workman – bass

Art Blakey 🎂 continued. On to this one. Same band, except now Workman on bass. Next year. I think I may like this one slightly more than "Mosaic." Not quite as bombastic. Plus a few standards worked in (like the title track) for this old square. 🍷
