Stitt plays both tenor and alto sax on this set, backed by his working band of the time:
Don Patterson on organ, Billy James on drums, and
Paul Weeden on guitar. This small-combo fits between bebop and soul-jazz, dominated by group-penned material.
Stitt gets an especially smoky tone on the ballads, particularly on the title track, which is a sultry blues number also featuring the guitarist and organist in solo turns.
Weeden distinguishes himself more as a soloist than
Patterson does, particularly on the
Wes Montgomery-type lines on "Silly Billy." ~ Richie Unterberger
