Considering how late this was recorded in
Nat Adderley
's career, the cornetist sounds in surprisingly fine form throughout the sessions. There are individual features for altoist
Antonio Hart
(who ranges from Tranish on
"Rwanda"
to playing in a more
Cannonball Adderley
-oriented style on the older tunes) and the
McCoy Tyner
-inspired pianist
Rob Bargad
, so
Adderley
(who is showcased on
"You Don't Know What Love Is"
) has opportunities to rest his chops. Among the other highlights are
"Sermonette,"
"My Romance,"
and
"Unit Seven."
