Highlights include the swinging blues of the title track, the irrepressible Latin groove of 'Viva Tirado' and a light-hearted version of 'Milestones' by Miles Davis," according to a Blue Note description.This "Tone Poet Vinyl" LP was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes and pressed on 180 g vinyl by Record Technology Inc.
