Finally, I found some metal harpsichord! Pretty fast playing going on here with this guy.
This was the first jazz recording I seriously paid attention to after I picked up the trumpet.
Having grown up hearing Swing and Bop I was blown away by Byrd and Dexter's phrasing on this composition.(we're talking 1968 when Soul Jazz was gaining a serious hold on the clubs in my hometown Newark).
I was introduced to this by my geometry teacher in high school who was a Jazz fan. His theory of Jazz solos having a geometric aspect appealed to me at the time and helped raise my grade from a C- to B.
Many years later whenever I hear this composition it always brings me back to a time when I first really understood the First Commandment of Jazz; "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing".
