James Spaulding, a veteran of the musical organizations of Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner, David Murray and the Sun Ra Arkestra, leads an all-star session from Rudy Van Gelder's place on his newest HighNote record. With John Hicks on piano, Don Sickler on trumpet/flugel and Ray Drummond and Kenny Washington sitting in on bass and drums, respectively, James lends color and an exotic timbre by featuring not only his alto sax and flute, but the seldom-seen bass flute as well. Tunes by Hank Mobley, Grant Green, Dexter Gordon, Kenny Dorham and others bring out the imaginative best from the players. A record for those with a fondness for truly musical jazz, full of unique sounds and ideas.

with Richard Wyands, Ron McClure, Tony Reedus.
