"The alto saxophonist's tone has a bit of a bluesy edge throughout the sessions, as if he is reminiscing about a past love ... The relaxed mood makes this release perfect for late-night listening." — AllMusic

Venus Records is known to highlight little-known veteran American jazz musicians who play excellent music to this day and merit listening by a wider audience. Some of these musicians include Eddie Higgins, Archie Shepp, Steve Kuhn, and Claude Williamson. The newest member added to this distinguished list is Charles McPherson.

On this release, McPherson is paired with the first-rate pianist Steve Kuhn. McPherson impresses with his personal tone and shining, emotional playing that is deeply rooted in bebop. This is an astonishing album by an astonishing artist.
