This is a great album, culled from a concert / club performance, in very good sound, with Shaw`s working band w/drummer/composer Victor Lewis. This is the second album I bought with Woody Shaw on it (the other being UNITY with Larry YOUNG 5 stars...). It makes you realize what a great trumpeter / composer Shaw was and what a shame was his early demise... This is the foremost trumpeter of the seventies, and his music is the perfect (missing) link between late 60`s Miles and Trane and today`s jazz scene, which still hasn`t caught up yet IMO... A great CD.

when i first put this album on, i was amazed. literally, i stopped in the middle of what i was doing, sat down in a chair, and listened. it is a truly excellent album. if you are looking for a really great bebop or jazz album, this is for you. simple as that, it is necessary to own.

I have a lot of Woody's stuff(they are all excellent) but this is one of my favorites and the best imo of all 4 0f the Woody Shaw Live Series

Great 'Live' album. From start to finish the band plays with an incredible fire and virtuosity.
This is Jazz at its finest.
One of the best in my hardcore-jazz-cd catalog of 800+.
