The first half of the set is Afro-Cuban in nature due to the inclusion of Carlos "Potato" Valdes' conga; also on the album are trombonist J.J. Johnson Hank Mobley on tenor baritonist Cecil Payne pianist Horace Silver bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Art Blakey. Dorham has an all-star group of young hard boppers eager to play his challenging and memorable originals. Transferred from the first-generation full track mono masters.
