This early effort by
Ken McIntyre (who doubles here on alto and flute) grows in interest with each listen. On a couple of his six originals (including a song called "Cornballs"),
McIntyre slide humorously between notes but other selections are much more serious.
McIntyre's sidemen are now somewhat obscure (trombonist
John Mancebo Lewis, pianist
Dizzy Sal, bassist
Paul Morrison and drummer
Bobby Ward) but they fit well into his conception which at this early stage was essentially advanced bop slightly influenced by the "new thing" music of
Ornette Coleman. This interesting set has been reissued on CD.
