A searing session of hardbop of the sort that baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber hardly got to cut in his early days as a leader but which has really been his strong calling card in more recent decades! We love Cuber in a mode like this and the tracks are all quite long, and very open with a quality that's similar to some of the live material he's done for the Steeplechase label marked with the same sort of fluid, inventively-blown solos throughout! Ronnie gets plenty of time in the lead as you might find on a Dexter Gordon 70s session for the label but the rest of the group is great too, and features George Colligan on piano, Cameron Brown on bass, and Joe Farnsworth on drums. Titles include "Mile's Mode", "Gloria's Steps", "Summertime", "Spiral", "Straight Street", and "Battery Blues".  © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/906628/Ronnie-Cuber:Straight-Street
