Memphis-born saxophonist Frank Lowe with his muscular tenor sax voice shines along with Butch Morris’ cornet and Amina Claudine Myers’ piano on top of Wilber Morris (bass) and Tim Pleasant (drums) angular rhythms. This 1981 date is recognized as one of Mr. Lowe’s finest albums. “Lowe’s turn-of-the-decade band traded on raw finesse. There is nothing here… which swaps subtlety for power. And both should help dispel any notion of Lowe as an unsubtle roarer.” ~Penguin Guide To Jazz. “Frank Lowe has developed a thoughtfully muscular approach to the tenor saxophone that’s exceptionally resourceful and personal, and his bandmates… are similarly animated by both an exploratory bent and a love for the hard-bop tradition.”
