Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by an elite rhythm section featuring Art Taylor and Paul Chambers, the profoundly fluid tenor saxophonist executes another quintessential Blue Note blowing session. The dense, three-horn frontline arrangements push the soloists through highly sophisticated, blues-drenched original compositions. The cohesive, deeply swinging date perfectly illustrates the rapidly codifying, highly competitive New York hard bop aesthetic.
