Ray Bryant is a true master and this album is in great to listen to at any time. I hope they remaster more rare Bryant albums.Everyone knows Miles, Dizzy and Duke but more should know about this true American Master and his amazing skills as a musician and writer/composer.

Up Above the Rock is simply and amazing song that will make you want to jump up and dance/sing or whatever. Hearing it live must be amazing and I hope I can one day. However, the version that i heard on the Davis Holmes Album: "Come Get it, I Got it" is FASTER than the original song on this album.

Little Green Apples is one of my favorites on the album. It atatrs slowly but them picks up in to a nicley paced jam that will simply make any jazz lover smile.

He has a few covers also : Mrs. Robinson and Say a Little Prayer which are done nicely on the piano.

I strongly recommend this album if you are a fan of old school, Blue Note/ Cadet Jazz. I guarantee you will play this album over and over and it will be one of your favorites.
