The record
A late-'60s soul-jazz date that finds Roach stretching past his Blue Note organ-trio roots, adding euphonium and flugelhorn for a fuller, brassier horn blend. Recorded for Prestige as the genre pivoted toward funkier, more socially charged grooves, with Eddie Gladden's drums keeping the pocket deep and unhurried.
