The record

A mid-'60s soul-jazz date led from the organ bench, cut for Prestige with a young Sonny Fortune bringing sharp-edged alto and tenor work well before his Miles and McCoy Tyner years. Guitar-organ-drums support keeps the groove lean and clubby, a lesser-known corner of the label's organ-combo catalog worth digging for.
