This is really an album led by tenor saxophonist Hal Singer, which accounts for the generous amount of R&B in the music. Not that Milt Buckner was moving it in the other direction because Buckner was comfortable in a number of musical settings including jazz, jump blues, and R&B. The pairing of Singer and Buckner gives this album a nice flavor as evidenced by the sound samples.
Other members of the ensemble are John Letman on trumpet and Tiny Grimes on guitar. Letman was also a session leader because his album, A Funky Day In Paris, was also being recorded during the same sessions and the entire ensemble appears on both. Having the great Tiny Grimes on guitar is pure icing on a rather delicious cake. ~Mike Tarrani
