About This Album
This CD reissue is an excellent example of tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest in a soulful but fairly straight-ahead setting. Accompanied by pianist Joe Zawinul, bassist Tommy Potter and drummer Clarence Johnston, Forrest revives his "Bolo Blues," and plays his basic "Crash Program," and otherwise sticks to melodic standards. His highly expressive powers and ability to say a lot with a few notes is very much in evidence on this excellent set. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

When I was finishing high school in 1974, I heard Jimmy Forrest playing tenor in the Count Basie's Orchestra at Disneyland. At the break, I sheepishly went up to him to say hello. I will never forget how kind and engaging he was. He started asking me about my musical interests and what instruments I played. It was a brief encounter, but one that remained vivid to me ever since. Bless that man.
