Review: Bop: straight, no chaser. A remarkable collection of stellar performances from a '76-'77 tour. All the selections are jazz standards, but nothing is cliché about the performances. As the songs develop, Shaw's searing horn and Cook's roaring saxophone create rich improvisational interactions.
