    Pianist Ronnie Mathews assembled an all-star group (tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford, trumpeter Bill Hardman, bassist Walter Booker, Jr. and drummer Jimmy Cobb) for this hard bop set.

The musicians all live up to their potential, making one wish that the Bee Hive releases of the late 1970s were available on CD.
