One of the very earliest of Riverside’s many noted on-the-job recordings. The limited technology of the Fifties made such “live” efforts risky, but the vibrant energies of young stars-to-be like Donald Byrd, Elvin Jones, and Pepper Adams turn this session into a forceful example of the values of capturing the sound of jazz in its natural habitat. Donald Byrd (trumpet), Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone), Bobby Timmons (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), Elvin Jones (drums). 5 Tracks. Recorded at the Five Spot Cafe, New York City, April 15, 1958.
