Violinist
Didier Lockwood showed great potential when he first arrived on the scene, but despite some good sessions, he has not yet become the pacesetter one originally expected. This is one of his better recordings, a quartet outing with pianist
Gordon Beck, bassist
Cecil McBee and drummer
Billy Hart. Other than "'Round Midnight" and an obscurity, all of the music is by either
Lockwood or
Beck, although much of it is fairly straight-ahead (as opposed to
Lockwood's earlier fusion-oriented dates). Worth searching for.
