Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leading an expanded, brass-heavy ensemble that features Cannonball Adderley, the consistently brilliant trumpeter presents a set of harmonically sophisticated hard bop. The meticulously voiced arrangements offer a lush, powerful backdrop for his slightly dark, highly lyrical soloing approach. It is celebrated as one of the most structurally ambitious and deeply swinging dates of his distinguished career.
