Great record by trumpeter Jack Walrath, with Dannie Richmond, John Scofield, Ray Drummond, and Jim McNeely. Walrath was in Charles Mingus’s last band, and of course Richmond was a long time Mingus drummer and creative partner. I’ve heard a couple of rough performances from later in Richmond’s career, but this is not one of them. Listen to this fifty times.
