By the time Modern released this album, Wardell Gray was dead. He'd been found at the side of a road in May 1955, only 34 years old. The recording is a fascinating insight into the development of jazz on the West Coast as the older big band players battle it out with the new bebop stylists. This is a vital historical document.
