This reissue (which surprisingly has not yet come out in complete fashion on CD) was originally recorded for the Jazzland label. Tenor saxophonist
Harold Land leads an all-star sextet that includes guitarist
Wes Montgomery, trumpeter
Joe Gordon, pianist
Barry Harris, bassist
Sam Jones and drummer
Louis Hayes. Together, they perform three of
Land's originals, "Don't Explain," and
Charlie Parker's "Klactoveedsedstene," and an early version of
Montgomery's "West Coast Blues." The music is as well-played and swinging as one would expect from this superior bop group.
