The title refers to the presence on some cuts of both trumpeter Tom Harrell, who left the group last year, and trombonist Hal Crook, who replaced him. Woods, though a brilliant composer, is not represented here in that capacity; his alto sax is the centerpiece for originals by Harrell (the adventurous post-bop “Journey to the Center,” the subdued, harmonically oblique “Weaver,”), pianist Hal Galper and the Los Angeles composer Tom Garvin, whose swaggering, Monkish “Bradley’s Revenge” is a highlight. Woods switches to clarinet for the exotic “Misirlou,” a 50-year-old Greek pop song. The three-horn blend is a bonus; too bad economics preclude its becoming permanent.
