An early album by vibist Mike Mainieri — who later went on to do a lot of trippier albums in the late 60s. This one’s a very nice quartet side with a straight feel, and was recorded for Chess/Argo in the early 60s, at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in New Jersey. The record is a lively mix of piano and vibes, with some nicely chromatic moments that hint at Mainieri’s later work.
