Album Notes & Community Reviews
Anchored by a famously thick, blues-drenched tenor saxophone tone, this session places a heavy emphasis on lyrical balladry and relaxed, deeply grooving tempos. Accompanied by Shirley Scott's sympathetic organ work, the record bridges the cerebral complexities of hard bop with the accessible, emotive directness of rhythm and blues. 'Never Let Me Go' stands as a peak representation of sophisticated, romantic soul-jazz.
