This was the first album that tenor saxophonist
Jimmy Forrest made after his R&B phase ended. Particularly notable is that the set served as the recording debut of guitarist
Grant Green; completing the band are pianist
Harold Mabern, bassist
Gene Ramey and drummer
Elvin Jones. The top-notch group performs two ballads, "Caravan" and three basic
Forrest originals, including the title cut. The music is essentially melodic and blues-based hard bop that looks toward soul-jazz. Everyone sounds in fine form.
