In the mid-Fifties Red Callender began working on a series of combos with experimental instrumentations. One line of continuity was his use of tuba, which because of its unexplored potential, was very close to him. His execution is clean, with good tonal definition and technique. He thought the most important thing of all was to be true to yourself, and he felt that everybody had a different message and what everyone had to say was important; communication was the thing. He did all the arrangements and filled them with generous doses of good musical humor. The soloists are heavily featured and the leader plays some of the most engaging and relaxed tuba jazz that has ever appeared on record.
