A good second album for pianist Campbell on the Contemporary label, this one had an added bonus of excellent contributions from jazz immortal Clark Terry. His spry solos and presence elevated both the session and the other participants, particularly Campbell, who played with much more edge and energy than on his previous release. He used different rhythm section personnel as well, this time recruiting Jay Anderson and Joel Spencer. ~ by Ron Wynn, AMG.
Great performer. Good selection of his work. Since he has few recordings, all of his albums are worth purchasing to hear his work. ~ Kathy Meehanon, Amazon.com.
