This set of mid-tempo, blues-based arrangements performed by an all-star group was a good idea. Leader and arranger A.K. Salim, a Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie associate, writes in a vein similar to Quincy Jones' work for both Basie and Gillespie, and on these seven tracks he's got that distinctive sparkle that Jones brought to the task. The pieces are overly arranged and overly diverse to one another. There are decent choruses from tenor player Seldon Powell, trumpeter Nat Adderley, and altoist Phil Woods, but nothing that really shows the soloists' personalities overtly to an advantage. Collectors should not pass on this one.
