Charles Davis is joined by
Louis Hayes & Company on this rare post-bop outing released on Strata-East
Records back in 1974. Charles excels as a musician, composer and arranger. All
players are on fire and there is plenty of room for them to express their individual
talents. It is an LP that can be revisited many a time. Highly Recommended!
