About this album

Booker Little is a striking hard bop statement that announced one of jazz’s most gifted young trumpet voices. Issued in 1960, the album finds Little combining a clear, lyrical tone with sharply conceived writing and improvising that feels both poised and urgent. With its compact small-group setting, the record balances blues feeling, hard bop drive and a modern compositional edge, qualities that helped mark Little out from many of his contemporaries. As an early showcase for an artist whose brief career would be deeply influential, it remains an important document of post-bop innovation and a vivid example of early-1960s jazz ambition.
