I love Green's solo on the first track - and the 2 tenors here are just stone cold badasses. Anyone which sax player carries that first tune out at the end? It's a real grimy solo and I don't know which of these guys it is.

(CD Dootone Boplicity Records UK Press CDBOP 007) 1996 .... recorded April 1958 @ Los Angeles, California .... Harold Land (ts) + Rolf Ericson (tp) + Elmo Hope (p) + Curtis Counce (b) + Frank Butler (dr) .... Curtis Counce never recorded a less than excellent session, but this (actually his last one) has the pure luxury of the Elmo Hope + Frank Butler combo .... and Harold Land is really sensational here .... underappreciated gem - probably due to an original release on the small Californian Dootone label - but this Boplicity edition with a excellent bonus track from the mid 90`s perfectly fits the bill ....
