Willis Jackson delivers the warmest, broadest, hugest, most enormous sound one could possibly imagine from a tenor sax. On the cover of the cd, he is shown holding a Conn 10M, THE tenor sax of the day, and his enormous technique and copious volume of air is ideally and perfectly mated to the indcredible tone characteristics of the 10M. If you want to jump right to the meaty stuff, skip to track #5, "Can't Help Lovin' That Man", and you'll get the full dose right off the bat. Give this cd a try. The odds are, you'll never look at a tenor sax the same way again.

If you like the older style of jazz as I do, you will enjoy this CD. It is a good example of jazz from that era. I enjoyed this CD.

When I first heard this album years ago, I was heavy into the blues. This cd inspired me to pick the sax back up and play the blues again. There is so much original work here. My favorites are More Blues At Midnight and On My Own. Try it and you'll never go back...
