An aptly titled 1959 release, this was one of the first "free jazz" albums ever.
A classic!

Roy Eldridge stated, "I'd listened to him all kinds of ways. I listened to him high and I listened to him cold sober. I even played with him. I think he's a jiving baby."
“The music on this album is like listening to four intelligent, funny people having a conversation.”
