This CD features one of trumpeter Woody Shaw's finest groups, a quintet with trombonist Steve Turre, pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Stafford James, and drummer Tony Reedus. The five-song program has an original apiece by each of the musicians (other than Reedus) with two by the leader. Shaw was one of the great trumpeters of all time, as he shows on such advanced yet swinging numbers as "Eastern Joy Dance," "Rahsaan's Run," and "Song of Songs." Virtually every Woody Shaw recording is well worth acquiring, including this one. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/lotus-flower-mw0000308958

Personnel:  Woody Shaw (trumpet); Steve Turre (trombone); Mulgrew Miller (piano); Stafford James (bass); Tony Reedus (drums).
