Sal from Chi-town strikes again. He suggested this wonderful CD to me and it is simply fantastic. Woody Shaw seems to be on the top of his game. His playing is crisp, clean, lyrically expressive and exciting (all adjectives that can almost always be used when talking about Woody). The material is fresh with catchy (but adventurous) melodies that the group performs ell. The rhythm section (Ronnie Matthews on piano, Stafford James on bass and Eddie Moore on drums) is as tight as any I?ve ever heard and Frank Strozier on alto sax is electric. The title tune (which I adored) was dedicated to Woody?s wife Maxine and it is played with passion and freedom. This little known treasure belongs on every jazz lover?s CD rack. Get it.
