An elegant, oceanic post-bop classic with an unforgettable title track. Cohesive and beautifully played by an all-star band. A graceful entry point to Blue Note. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.
On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
