Did. "Citadel" is performed from the album "Renaissance". The other songs are masterpieces that are now considered standards, and you can fully enjoy the young tenor performance of Branford, who was 27 years old at the time. His partner Kenny Kirkland plays the piano, Delbert Felix, who has also appeared on Chris Potter's albums, plays the bass, and Lewis Nash, one of the most talented players in the modern jazz world, plays the drums. It is a work that allows you to enjoy the royal road of hard bop, as it includes live stages from their late 20s when their power was exploding.
