Although always a bit under-recognized and overshadowed by his contemporaries, tenor-saxophonist
Dewey Redman has long been one of the giants of the avant-garde and bop. This early recording finds
Redman discovering his own individual voice on five of his frequently emotional originals. Assisted by pianist Jym Young, bassist Donald Raphael Gareet and drummer Eddie Moore, this San Francisco date is quite adventurous and holds one's interest throughout. ~ Scott Yanow
