A crystallization of dynamism and creativity from the master of hard bop.
The funky piano and powerful horn section convey the essential joy of jazz. The blues feeling and the sophistication of modern jazz are beautifully blended, elevating the listener. This is a masterpiece that showcases Silver's unique sense of composition.
