About This Album
Tenor saxophonist Craig Handy's debut as a leader is an impressive effort. The advanced hard bop music (which also features Handy doubling on alto, pianist Ed Simon, bassist Ray Drummond, drummer Ralph Peterson and three guest appearances by trombonist Robin Eubanks) has fine arrangements by Handy, who also contributed five of the nine pieces. At this point, Craig Handy's sound was almost distinctive (blending together Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins), and he clearly had a great future. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
