His crew of Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams, drums, Freddie Hubbard, trumpet, and George Coleman, tenor sax, pull together perfectly to express a variety of moods-from the quiet swirling sound of Little One to the growling agitation of Eye of the Hurricane.

She joins the SS nursing corps, but discovers to her horror that SS nurses are better trained to kill than to cure.
