Album Notes & Community Reviews

A posthumous release capturing the fiery tenor saxophonist in a dynamic 1968 session initially shelved by Blue Note. Backed by an exceptional rhythm section including Kenny Barron and Woody Shaw, the album is a testament to the artist's robust, deeply emotional hard bop and modal jazz approach.
