A record of incredible beauty from the great Leo Wright -- and one that we'd never part with at all! Wright's one of those excellent players from the 60s who never really gets his due -- largely because he was always hiding behind larger groups, and because he left the US in the decade for an extended stint in Europe. Still he cut some fantastic early work with both Dizzy Gillespie and Lalo Schifrin -- and this album captures him right during the peak of that early period!
