A favorite with die-hard jazz fans, notable for its straight-ahead ferocious swing and the soaring saxophone work of Larry Nozero complementing Landis phrase-for-phrase. "Landis scats, swoops, and dips and chirps...and plays tag with the musicians, her principal protagonist being Nozero's highly charged alto." David Nathan AllMusic.
