Now listeners enter the heart of the
/
sessions, a great quartet date with
manning the bass (
deputizes on the title track) and
drummer
displaying other sides of his personality. Everyone wanted
to come up with a sequel to the monster hit
; and so he did, reworking the tune and playfully designating the meter as 10/8. Hence
a worthy sequel with a solo that has a Middle-Eastern feeling akin to
's famous extemporaneous excursion with
in
back in 1954. It was here that
also unveiled a spin-off of the then-red-hot bossa nova groove that he called "bossa antigua" (a sardonic play-on-words meaning "old thing"), which laid the ground for
's next album and a few more later in the decade. Two of the best examples are his own tunes, the samba-like
(named after arranger
), an infectious number with on-the-wing solo flights that you can't get out of your head, and the haunting
now gets plenty of room to stretch out, supported by
's gently dropped bombs, and he is the perfect understated swinging foil for the wistful altoist. There is not a single track here that isn't loaded with ingeniously worked out, always melodic ideas. ~ Richard S. Ginell
