  Released shortly after Go!, this album finds Gordon operating at a similarly high level. His playing is warm, witty, and endlessly melodic throughout the session. Sonny Clark's piano work provides the perfect counterpart to Gordon's relaxed authority. The band swings effortlessly without ever sounding routine. Gordon's gift for storytelling through improvisation is on full display. Every solo feels purposeful and complete.
