Album Notes & Community Reviews

Renowned for his long tenure as Thelonious Monk's primary saxophonist, Charlie Rouse steps into the electric era on this prized Strata-East release. Fusing complex post-bop language with gritty, infectious jazz-funk rhythms and cello, the album stands as a vibrant testament to his late-career creative flexibility.
