Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterpiece of hard bop with a dark, intense, and driving mood. Kenny Drew's percussive, Bud Powell-influenced piano style is at its peak, leading a top-tier band through a set of complex and compelling tunes. The title track is a powerful showcase of the session's urgent energy, featuring blistering solos from Hubbard and Mobley. It stands as one of the finest and most dynamic piano-led albums of the era.
