Recorded live at Nick Vollebregt's JazzCafé in Laren, Holland, on October 19th, 1989.

Sharp-edged work from a cool Dutch combo one co-led by pianist Rob Agerbeek and saxophonist Ruud Brink both great players, even if they're not well known over here in the US! Agerbeek's got years of jazz work under his belt by the time of this set and he plays with a sound that's quickly imaginative to live up to the bop title, but also has a warmer, more sensitive approach too one that unfolds beautifully as the album rolls on, and makes it much more than just a bop-revival affair. Brink's great too and mostly plays tenor with a raspy, soulful tone but also plays a bit of clarinet, and even sings a bit on two tracks too. Remaining quartet members include Harry Emmery on bass and Jo Krause on drums and titles include 'Pardon My Bop', 'It's You Or No One', 'I Can't Get Started', 'Four', and 'The Red Door'.
