In addition to the trumpeter, the quintet here features a superb line up with Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Cedar Walton on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, all playing at the top of their game. Highlights include the Duke Pearson gem Is That So and the enticing title track penned by Morgan.
