Tenor saxophonist
Harold Land and trumpeter
Kenny Dorham make for a potent front line on this CD reissue, a superior hard bop set. With an obscure and quietly boppish rhythm section (pianist
Amos Trice, bassist
Clarence Jones, and drummer
Joe Peters) giving suitable backup,
Land and
Dorham stretch out on five selections, most notably
Cole Porter's "So in Love," "On a Little Street in Singapore," and
Land's "O.K. Blues," which was dedicated to producer
Orrin Keepnews. A fine effort that serves as a strong example of
Harold Land's early work. ~ Scott Yanow
