When Riverside invited him to assemble his choice of an ideal small group, the Hawk picked an impressive cast that ran the gamut from modern (J.J. Johnson) through mainstream (Hank Jones) and on back to Swing (ex-Basie drummer Jo Jones) and created a powerful album that stands as a lasting part of his legacy. Band also includes Idrees Sulieman, Barry Galbraith, &  Oscar Pettiford. Recorded in New York on March 12th & 13th of 1957.       Tracks:Chant Juicy FruitThink Deep Laura Blue Lights Sancticity NEW SEALED re-issue LP
