"There is one misinformed 2 star review of this CD calling it "non jazz." Come on-this CD defines jazz trio at it's best. The three have an almost symbiotic swinging relationhship. Walter Booker and Idris give tight support to John's piano. They play mostly original compositions on this CD. They play even better on CD's recorded 3 years later. See my reviews of "Inc. 1" and "In Concert." Of course, these CDs are only the beginning of the John Hicks story. He recorded frequently as a leader and sideman until his death in 2006. I consider him one of the greatest jazz pianists. Listen to him, and he will never disappoint."

Gospel rhythm, jazz harmonies--what's not to like?

"Not sure what the other reviewer is on about. This is a solid 4.5. Driving, joyous, with deep knowledge of the jazz idiom. Well worth picking up."
