Less than two months before his sudden death, recorded this final rewarding effort. One of the most inventive of the organists to come up after , contributed five originals to the set and shows that one can play funky and still be creative and unpredictable. The main surprise of the outing is that , a saxophonist best known for his /crossover records, fits in quite well to the hard and jams. Also in fine form as a soloist is underrated guitarist . sounds inspired by his sidemen and is heard in excellent form this one last time. ~ Scott Yanow
