Both of the Joe Gordon tunes in this collection were originally recorded by Joe on the excellent Contemporary (now OJC) recording "Lookin' Good", which I highly recommend as an introduction to his playing. A very distinctive composing voice was being developed to match the playing voice at the time of that record date, not long before his tragic death in a fire at the age of 32.

Impresionante música, una de las mejores secciones rítmicas que he escuchado. Latin jazz de altísima calidad, arreglos insuperables y solistas que dicen algo. Me encanta este disco. Palmieri un genio. jazztapronto
