This CD reissue, which adds "The Fuzz" to the original six-song LP, is a fine showcase for
Bobby Jaspar and acts as an excellent introduction to his playing. A mellow-toned tenor and a fluent flutist who was quite bop-oriented,
Jaspar is featured with pianist
George Wallington, bassist Wilbur Little, drummer
Elvin Jones, and (on three numbers) trumpeter
Idrees Sulieman. The majority of the tunes (other than "My Old Flame" and "All of You") are originals by group members, straight-ahead tunes with good blowing changes. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
