This is a great set by a band of legends!! These guys can really play, and compose wonderful music. For me, the thing that most distinguishes this sort of soul jazz, in the hard-bop tradition, from more contemporary jazz is that each tune has a tune - like, solid hooks for the killer solos to hang from... And, Billy Harper on sax, David Weiss, Eddie Hendo on trumpet, Craig Handy.. alto and flute, and George Cables on keys, ... not to mention Cecil McBee on bass and Billy Hart on traps, all deliver!! A lot of the avante-gard jazz these days is great, but, I do like a tune with very classy improvised soloing, a solid vamp and a tune! Highly recommended.

I couldn't believe it when I heard that my two favorite saxophonists (Billy Harper & Craig Handy) were playing in the same group. The recording is amazing because everyone is an all star and they play just like that. Great tunes, tight execution and inspired solos. You will be blown away when you hear Priestess by Billy Harper. The arrangement is awesome and the solos scary. Buy it . 5 stars.

Here are five kindred souls who have been smoking for enough years individually to all be considered veteran smokers. 'Smoke' here means hard driving post-bop played with precision and power.
This is a very good set and everyone contributes admirably. All of the music is very accessable..not the least bit self-indulgent. Old fans like me already know that that these creative musicians are all great soloists who are especially comfortable with this kind of music. But there is a bonus. This album shows is that as a collective, this group is also comfortable with each other. They sound like much more than a rehersal group. The use of two trumpet players, both separately and together, just adds to the pot. These guys really 'cook'.
All this cookin' is bound to produce a lot of smokin' and it does so here.
Buy the album. You will like it. It will probably become a treasured componet of your jazz collection.
