Album Notes & Community Reviews

The accomplished saxophonist steps firmly into the spotlight with this acoustic jazz outing, backed by a formidable rhythm section including his brother Wynton and Ron Carter. It stands as a prime example of the 1980s neo-bop traditionalist revival, heavily echoing the sophisticated structural language of the mid-20th century.
