  • All Music Guide

    Sonny Criss never became a major name or a pollwinner, but he was one of the great altoists. His recordings for Muse in the 1970s were often classics, including this superb effort. Assisted by pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Larry Gales and drummer Jimmie Smith, Criss comes up with one inventive chorus after another on two of his originals, a song by Coker, and four standards including "All The Things You Are," "My Ideal" and "Out of Nowhere." Criss's distinctive sound, mastery of bop and consistently swinging ideas are three strong reasons to acquire this CD reissue.
