This is a fun set of heated swing with early R&B overtones. The title cut is a real romp, with tenor saxophonist
Hal Singer and trumpeter
Charlie Shavers not only constructing exciting solos but riffing behind each other. With the exception of the standard "With a Song in My Heart," Singer and
Shavers wrote the remainder of the repertoire, and with the assistance of a particularly strong rhythm section (pianist
Ray Bryant, bassist
Wendell Marshall and drummer
Osie Johnson), there are many fine moments on this enjoyable set. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
