The record
Chicago hard bop and blues sensibility from a trio steeped in the city's club circuit, cut for Vee Jay when the label was still finding its jazz footing alongside its R&B roster. Young's piano work is economical and swinging, with Brown and Jackson keeping the groove tight and unfussy throughout.
