A hard-hitting blowing session, cut very much in the mode of
Gene's late 50s sides for Prestige – and with a very accomplished group of soul jazzers that includes
Nat Adderley,
Frank Foster, Bennie Green, and
Frank Wess. The groove has a nice raw late night sound – and tracks are pretty long and open-ended. Titles include "Litty Ditty", "Sermonette", "Juggin Around", and "Jim Dog".
