This 1964 album marked a bit of a change in the sound of Freddie Roach in that he fully embraces the soul-jazz sound. Joe Henderson is masterful on the recording as is guitarist Eddie Wright and Roach’s longtime drummer Clarence Johnston. Very bluesy at times, Roach and company find the groove and stay in it. This record keeps going in and out of print, as far as I know the great re-issue label Water was the last to bring this gem (and it’s classic cover) back into circulation.
