Basically, Byrd and Adams hit on their partnership sometime in early 1958, the group's first recording being the live Riverside set, 10 to 4 at the 5 Spot. This then leads us nicely to Byrd's Blue Note contract, all the while keeping Adams in the fold, and first session in December of '58. Off To the Races just bristles with a crackling excitement that can be immediately sensed via the opening "Lover Come Back To M. Taken at a brisk tempo, Byrd, Adams, and Jackie McLean through off complex phrases with relative ease, spurred on by Art Taylor's crisp ride cymbal.
