Title: Truly fantastic
Product review: If you happened across this CD, you are in for a treat. Frank Strozier is a lesser-known altoist who shines and soars on this, his first date as a leader. It is unfortunate that his playing was overshadowed by other, though deserving, sax players of the same era. This album is particularly exciting due to the playing of trumpeter Booker Little. Booker's remarkable solos and interpretations of the mostly original Strozier tunes (not to mention his own tune "Waltz of the Demons") are full of emotion and inventiveness. The rhythm section is none other than that of Miles Davis-Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. The well-honed interplay between these three more than adequately back the dynamic duo of Strozier and Little. This album is over 75 minutes of fantastic hard-bop (edging on post-hard-bop).
