A fine 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet which, at the time, consisted of Haynes on drums, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Roland Kirk on saxophone and flute. The album is a delightful mix of technique in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific perfrmances throughout. Haynes' drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments, Flanagan's piano playing is equally light and delicate, Grimes' bass work is outstanding, and Kirk's sax and flute romps are as nuanced as ever.
Musicians:
Roy Haynes, drums
Roland Kirk, saxophonoe & flute
Tommy Flanagan, piano
Henry Grimes, bass
