As I sit here and listen to this CD for the 5th straight time I'm still amazed at the energy and creativity that these cats release on the opening (title) cut. I remember hearing it for the first time at my friend's house and I've been in love with it ever since (thanks G!). I ran home and ordered it before I took off my hat and coat.

Tunes were composed by Kenny Dorham and Joe Henderson who both play their best. The solos are well conceived and explore every possibility available. They are backed (or fronted in this case) by McCoy Turner, Richard Davis and Elvin Jones. Kenny and Joe really step up the plate and respond to energy created by this stellar rhythm section. Who couldn't respond to those cats?? I mean… they could make ME sound good. They can play in the pocket, around it, to the side, underneath… and it sounds perfect.

Don't sleep on this one. A definite hard-bop diamond in the rough.
