Hal Galper Quintet – Reach Out! (SteepleChase/Inner City, 1977)

Hal Galper (p); Randy Brecker (tr); Michael Brecker (ts, fl); Wayne Dockery (b); Billy Hart (d)

Recorded on November 11, 1976 

Another outstanding straight-ahead session on SteepleChase!  

Hal Galper made a series of excellent recordings in the latter half of the decade.  

It's fun to hear Michael and Randy Brecker in this context, and the whole band cooks.

Three of Galper's recordings, made around the same time as this SteepleChase disc, are also easy to recommend:

- Now Hear This (Enja, 1977) with Terumasa Hino, Cecil McBee & Tony Williams

- Redux '78 (Concord, 1991) with the Brecker Brothers, Wayne Dockery & Bob Moses

- Speak with a Single Voice (Enja, 1979) with the same group heard on Redux '78
