This was tenor saxophonist
David Sanchez's recording debut as a leader. At 25,
Sanchez already had a fairly distinctive tone and the ability to mix bop with Latin jazz. Assisted on most selections by pianist
Danilo Perez, either
Peter Washington or
Andy Gonzalez on bass and drummer
Leon Parker (trumpeter
Tom Harrell also has three appearances),
Sanchez mostly performs new compositions written by either himself or
Perez plus "Woodyn' You," "I'll Be Around" and
Jimmy Heath's "CJ." A strong and well-rounded beginning to
David Sanchez's solo career.
