A typical ESP blowout, this CD reissue has the only recording of tenor saxophonist
Frank Smith (who sounds quite intense during his lone appearance on "Taking It Out of the Ground") and features strong playing from pianist
Burton Greene, long-lost bassist
Henry Grimes, and either Dave Grant or
Tom Price on drums. However, this set's main value is the improvising of altoist
Marion Brown, who manages to sound both lyrical and very exploratory on the four
Greene originals. Invigorating music from the free-jazz era.
