Personnel: Harold Land (tenor saxophone); Dupree Bolton, Elmo Hope, Herbie Lewis, Frank Butler. Originally released on Contemporary (7619). Personnel: Harold Land (tenor saxophone); Dupree Bolton (trumpet); Elmo Hope (piano); Frank Butler (drums). Recording information: Radio Records, Studio B, Los Angeles, CA (08/1959). Photographer: Bob Skeetz. Due to his decision to settle in Los Angeles, tenor saxophonist Harold Land has long been underrated. A strong bop stylist who later on would be influenced a great deal by John Coltrane, Land in 1959 had a sound closer to Sonny Rollins. For this excellent straight-ahead quintet set with trumpeter Dupree Bolton and pianist Elmo Hope, Land performs four of Hope's superior but little-known compositions along with two of his own. This is high-quality hard bop, easily recommended to fans of straight-ahead jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
