Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deviating from his characteristically intense, original bebop compositions, the alto saxophonist focuses almost entirely on standard repertoire for this Blue Note session. Utilizing a pianoless trio rhythm section augmented by Walter Bishop Jr., the resulting tracks offer a lighter, highly accessible entry point into his catalog.
