Donald Byrd (trumpet) leads a phenomenal quintet with Pepper Adams (baritone sax), Duke Pearson (piano), Philly Joe Jones (drums), and Laymon Johnson (bass) in this amazingly listenable collection of original compositions. Byrd, Adams, and Pearson trade agile solos on this unusually entertaining date, complete with some superb rhythm section support.

Grade: A.
