Album Notes & Community Reviews

A brilliant all-star quintet session that is a high-point of the mid-60s Blue Note sound. Featuring a powerful frontline of Bobby Hutcherson on vibes and Joe Henderson on tenor sax, and fueled by the modal intensity of pianist McCoy Tyner, the album pushes the boundaries of hard bop. The compositions are sophisticated and the solos are both fiery and intelligent.
