The record
Prestige's soul-jazz orbit suits him well, backed by a stacked, shifting cast spanning Kenny Burrell's guitar and Leo Wright's alto to horns and dual drummers. Loose, groove-driven blues-jazz from 1963, Witherspoon working the same after-hours terrain he'd mine with organ combos and jazz sidemen alike.
