Groovy session
that features this star tenorist of the Jack McDuff group as the leader, but
which also has the same group backing him up - including McDuff on organ,
George Benson on guitar, and Joe Dukes on drums. The set list has a good batch
of originals, with the same sort of groove and strong sense of humor as the
best McDuff recordings from the time. Tracks include "Brother Red",
"No Tears", "Shout Brother", and "Something
Funny". © Dusty Groove, Inc.
Allmusic awarded
the album 4½ stars stating "The material is comprised of Burt Bacharach's
"Wives and Lovers," "This Can't Be Love," and five Holloway
originals, which have more diversity than one might expect. An interesting
aspect to the soulful and swinging set is that McDuff made his debut on piano
for two songs". ~ Wikipedia
