  One of the hidden treasures of early-1960s Blue Note. Kenny Drew's piano playing combines bebop fluency with a subtle modernism that often goes underappreciated. Freddie Hubbard and Hank Mobley provide strong support, but Drew's elegant touch and compositional intelligence remain the focal point. The music never demands attention; it earns it gradually through craftsmanship and swing. A quietly excellent record.
