Killer electric piano work from the mighty Mike Longo
-- recorded at a time when he was definitely at the
height of his powers! The album sports a rare
Mainstream Records appearance from James Moody -- who
was a frequent partner of Longos on sessions at the
time -- particularly on some of Dizzy Gillespie's
funky records -- which bear a lot of similarity to the
sharp-edged grooves on this one! The rhythm section is
wonderfully tight, and a big part of the success of
the set -- as they keep things grooving with a
slightly sharper edge than some of Longo's other
records -- thanks to bass from Ron Carter, drums from
Mickey Roker, and even a bit of extra congas from
Dizzy Gillespie, of all people! Other players include
Moody on alto, tenor, and flute -- plus Virgil Jones
on trumpet and Curtis Fuller on trombone.
if u like it buy it and show artists some love!
