Not too light but plenty lively as Louis Hayes cooks things up with a great group that includes Bobby Watson on alto, Charles Tolliver on trumpet, Kenny Barron on piano, and Clint Houston on bass! The core trio of Hayes, Barron, and Houston is a great one skipping along with a fluid ease, and always hitting the in-the-pocket sort of rhythms that would be needed to make a session like this come off right and the horns of Watson and Tolliver in the frontline merge and separate with a lyrical soulfulness that takes us back to the best years of the Horace Silver group, especially when Hayes was a part of that ensemble.
