This is a cool little album. Nice arrangements by Q with tasty solos by various members. Q had just finished a stint with Count Basie when he recorded these sides. Jimmy Cleveland shines on a few tracks, namely "Caravan" and "Chant Of The Weed" (which unfortunately has a skip on my LP). Phil Woods plays a gorgeous solo on "I Never Has Seen Snow", as does Jerome Richardson on flute on "Eesom". Lee Morgan does a blazing solo on "Air Mail Special" as well. I'd like to get this on CD but since it's out of print it goes for some ridiculous money.

Fresh Sound sells it, but not sure how much shipping is here to the US.
