The Fox is a 1960 album by Harold Land, originally released on the Hifijazz label and reissued by Contemporary in 1969 and on CD by Original Jazz Classics in 1991. The album features trumpeter Dupree Bolton.[6]

Reception

Allmusic's Scott Yanow gives the album four and a half stars and describes it as an "excellent straight-ahead quintet set" and "high-quality hard bop".[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz rates the album three and a half stars and describes Land as an "underrated composer with a deep feeling for the blues" and states that The Fox, "tricky and fugitive as much of it is, must be thought his finest moment".[2]
