An OK but not too essential LP, this effort by
David Newman (heard on tenor and flute) leans more to the R&B side, featuring
Newman with an oversized rhythm section that includes vibraphonist
Roy Ayers (who also plays keyboards), Bags Costello on organ and piano, and guitarist
Cornell Dupree. The tunes, mostly recent originals (also the traditional "Precious Lord") are interpreted soulfully by
Newman, but little memorable occurs. ~ Scott Yanow
