Album Notes & Community Reviews
Having deliberately switched to the tenor saxophone to escape direct comparisons to Charlie Parker, the artist demonstrates his formidable, deeply swinging approach to modern jazz. The tight rhythm section provides a sturdy framework for his relentless, rapid-fire melodic inventions and immaculate technical execution.
