A STRONG TRIO DATE FROM ODEAN POPE -- ONE THAT MIXES HIS TENOR WITH THE BASS OF LEE SMITH AND DRUMS OF SUNNY MURRAY
-- ALMOST IN A STYLE THAT HEARKENS BACK TO 60S WORK ON ESP, BUT WITH A MELLOWER SOUND OVERALL! THE ALBUM'S WARMLY MELODIC
AT POINTS, BUT STILL SOMEWHAT UNSTRUCTURED -- USUALLY ALLOWING PLENTY OF LONG LINES FROM POPE'S TENOR, AND KEEPING MURRAY'S
PERCUSSION TO A MINIMUM -- OFTEN LETTING THE SAX AND BASS SPIN OUT IN THEIR OWN DANCE OF RHYTHM, WHICH REALLY OFFERS A GREAT
SHOWCASE FOR ODEAN'S CREATIVE ENERGY.
