Album Notes & Community Reviews
Teaming the patriarchal giant of the tenor saxophone with a rhythm section heavily steeped in modern grooves, this deeply relaxed session highlights his effortless ability to adapt to changing eras. Accompanied by the bluesy, incredibly soulful guitar work of Kenny Burrell, the leader unwinds lengthy, beautifully constructed solos over exceptionally steady, infectious vamps. The record proves that the swing-era pioneer was remarkably comfortable and highly capable within the burgeoning soul-jazz movement.
