Album Notes & Community Reviews

True to the critical acclaim referenced in its title, this quartet session finds the notoriously smooth tenor saxophonist operating at the absolute peak of his technical and melodic powers. Supported by pianist Lou Levy, he delivers remarkably fluid, high-velocity solos that swing with an effortless, lyrical grace. The album is a premier example of West Coast cool sensibilities applied to rigorous bebop structures.
