Album Notes & Community Reviews
On a rare outing as a leader, the versatile multi-instrumentalist expertly wields both the tenor saxophone and the flute across a stellar hard bop date. Supported by a top-tier rhythm section and Hank Jones on piano, the quintet executes deeply swinging, bluesy originals and complex bop standards. The album is a highly respected showcase of a musician who spent the majority of his career as an elite studio sideman.
