Overview
By the time of their fifth record, the Red Rodney-Ira Sullivan Quintet also included pianist Garry Dial, bassist Jay Anderson, and drummer Steve Bagby, and it was a perfect vehicle for the co-leaders. Heard here mostly on flugelhorn, Rodney was challenged by the advanced material (four of the six numbers are Dial originals), and underground, multi-instrumentalist legend Sullivan received more exposure than he had ever had in his career. - AllMusic Guide
