Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a prime rebuttal to the myth that West Coast jazz was inherently bloodless, this formidable outing showcases a tenor player with a robust, unyielding tone deeply rooted in the blues. Supported by a stellar rhythm section, the robust improvisations expertly blend East Coast hard bop grit with California's melodic sophistication.
