Review

Down Beat (9/95, p.42) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...he lets notes jump out of his horn as starbursts of fresh insight into the melodies and harmonies of Trane vehicles....Watts has a tremendous emotional presence on the entire program..."
JazzTimes (6/95, p.89) - "...The high-quality music ranges from tender ballads to intense Coltrane-ish modal originals. Throughout this definitive set, Watts...is heard at the peak of his powers..."

The most unusual aspect to this Ernie Watts recording is that the great tenor is joined by a two-bass quartet. Eddie Gomez on acoustic and Steve Swallow on electric blend together quite well, are featured in a delightful version of Oscar Pettiford's "Tricotism" and (with pianist Geri Allen and drummer Jack DeJohnette) keep the accompaniment consistently stimulating. Ernie Watts is in top form throughout this fine modern mainstream date, playing with both passion and lyricism on a variety of standards and originals (which, in addition to four songs from the leader, include one apiece from DeJohnette and Swallow). There is just enough variety to keep the proceedings from ever getting predictable, making this one of Watts' finest sessions. ~ Scott Yanow
