    Drummer Chico Hamilton has met many top young musicians in his years as a bandleader, but it is less well known that Larry Coryell made his recording debut with his solid and mellow soul-jazz performance, lending a bluesy edge to "The Dealer". In addition to mainly originals from Chico Hamilton's pen, the spirited boogaloo "For Mods Only", composed by free jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp, making a rare appearance on piano on the track, deserves special mention.

    VERVE BY REQUEST SERIES: remastered, audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl from Third Man Pressing/Detroit, Single Sleeve.
