Dans cette rupture avec son jazz habituel teinté de R&B, Grover Washington, Jr. explore une approche plus traditionnelle du jazz. Alternant entre saxophones soprano, alto et ténor, il est soutenu au piano par Tommy Flanagan ou Herbie Hancock sur cinq des huit pistes, livrant des interprétations de classiques comme “Blues for D.P.” de Ron Carter, “Stolen Moments” et “Stella by Starlight” avec finesse et swing. Le saxophoniste ténor Igor Butman participe à trois morceaux, faisant de cet album un ajout précieux à toute collection.
