Virtually all of saxophonist
Gerald Albright's previous recordings were in the pop/R&B field, making this mostly straight-ahead session a major surprise.
Albright, alternating between alto and tenor, plays quite well throughout this set, which is highlighted by versions of "Impressions," "Georgia on My Mind," and "Limehouse Blues." Tenorman
Kirk Whalum helps out on three tracks, and
Eddie Harris makes a guest appearance on "Bubblehead McDaddy." This is easily
Gerald Albright's most rewarding session to date. ~ Scott Yanow
