This excellent session does a fine job of showing off
David "Fathead" Newman's jazz talents.
Newman is heard on tenor sax on four selections, taking two songs apiece on flute and alto. Joined by pianist
Cedar Walton, the fine if underrated vibraphonist Bryan Carrott, bassist David Williams, and drummer Kenny Washington,
Newman stretches out on such numbers as "Cellar Groove," "Cristo Redentor," "Freedom Jazz Dance," and a tribute to
Stanley Turrentine, "For Stanley," sounding at his prime on each of his instruments. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
