Originally released by the tiny RIZA label, this CD reissue has one of drummer Billy Higgins' few dates as a leader. Actually,
Higgins mostly plays a supportive role as usual, backing saxophonist
Gary Bias (heard in top form), pianist
William Henderson, and bassist
Tony Dumas.
Bias,
Henderson, and William James Lee contributed all of the material, which is fresh, generally modal post-bop. Well worth picking up.
