From start to finish this is an exceptionally smooth album. It just rolls along transporting you to a very upbeat and cool place. The beautiful rhythm of Horace's piano, the dexterity and speed of Joe Henderson's tenor and the brilliance of Woody Shaw's trumpet are captivating. I normally find the trombone overbearing and out of place but JJ Johnson is absolutely wonderful on this fabulous album.

Much as I enjoy the Horace's better known albums, this is my favourite.

You will not regret buying this album. ~ Frizzante

To my ears there is such a purity to this recording. Sure, the solos, overall musicianship, and song craft are exceptional, but that this not the thing. This album transcends. It is spiritual and loving and dare I say, in some abstract way very "black" (and by that I mean full of universality and depth of experience). Somehow through the Latin-tinged, blues-infused, deep-swinging celebration, one gets the sense that it's all going to be okay. Celebrate universal love and enjoy! A few years later Horace was singing this kind of thing, but he didn't really need to...it was always "within" the music.

J.J. Johnson adds fantastic depth; not a bad song on the disk; never gets old; easy to get wonderfully lost in beautiful abstract thought whilst listening; his best recording. ~ Pure Joy "classicglobal"
