One of the most underrated saxophonists of the post-1960 era,
James Spaulding
has long been a passionate postbop altoist and a warm flutist. On this superior outing he is heard in top form on both of his axes (plus two appearances on bass flute) in a quartet with pianist
Richard Wyands
, bassist
Ron McClure
and drummer
Tony Reedus
. Producer
Donald Sickler
helped advise Spaulding on the material and the result is a high-quality set of obscurities by
Wyands
,
McClure
Clifford Jordan
Donald Brown
Geoff Keezer
and
Idrees Sulieman
. Spaulding digs into the songs, displays a great deal of versatility and certainly has his fiery moments. One of
's finest allround recordings. ~ Scott Yanow
