Although this sextet session was officially a co-op, vibraphonist
Teddy Charles and pianist
Mal Waldron were really the main organizers. The group plays five originals by bandmembers that often have complex melodies but familiar chord changes. Trumpeter
Idrees Sulieman excels on the one standard ("Everything Happens to Me"), altoist
John Jenkins (making his recording debut) has some worthy solos and both bassist
Addison Farmer and drummer
Jerry Segal are fine in support. This obscure session (reissued on CD in the OJC series) is an excellent outing.
