Could be the most West Coast album ever -- outrageously clever, cute-precious-complex, impeccably played. On one side of the LP  (six tunes per side) Shorty arranges three standards and Andre contributes three originals based on those standards; on the other side their roles are reversed. Back in the  later '50s when in a fit of rectitude I was purging my collection of much West Coast stuff in the name of my newfound passions -- Blakey, Rollins, Horace Silver, et al. -- I kept this one and I'm glad I did. It really is something else.

prompted by BFT 210. Higgins and Dyani, that's serious.

Bought this because it includes Oliver Nelson's Nocturne. Such passionate sax playing! 

And the rhythm section is top notch. I wish these had been on Stolen Moments.

Really dig all his three Piano Trio outings for Pablo, but this one may remain dearest to my heart .....

Currently listening to Paul Brusger's Go To Plan B, which someone mentioned here a week or two ago. A really nice high definition modern bop record with John Hicks and Ronnie Cuber both in great form.
