The energy and drive on this album are something to hear. Gordon sails into his compositions full of brightness and confidence, dexterous work on the keys from Sonny Clark and is obvious that this record is one of those albums where everything just seems to come together magically. Whether it’s grooving hard bop or elegant ballads this record has it all. Highly recommended as a true standard in jazz.
