Night and Day

Night and Day is an album by trumpeter Red Rodney with multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan which was recorded and released on the Muse label in 1981. Reception The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The Red Rodney-Ira Sullivan Quintet was one of the finest groups of the early 1980s. Rodney had an opportunity to play fresh material; Sullivan gained more exposure than he ever had in his career; and pianist Garry Dial was given high-profile and challenging writing assignments; bassist Barry Smith and drummer Steve Bagby completed the band in mid-1981".
