Notes

AMG Review by Scott Yanow (4 - 4 1/2): The fourth of five albums co-led by trumpeter Terence Blanchard and altoist Donald Harrison, this quintet session (with pianist Cyrus Chestnut, bassist Reginald Veal and drummer Carl Allen) has seven originals by the co-leaders plus "God Bless the Child" and "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise." Although an outgrowth of Art Blakey and hard bop, the stimulating music contains more than its share of surprises and chancetaking, stretching the boundaries of the mainstream a bit. 1987 Columbia/CBS CK 40830-2 Terence Blanchard -trumpet Donald Harrison -alto, tenor, & soprano saxes Cyrus Chestnut -piano Reginald Veal -bass Carl Allen -drums
