The only leader album by American saxophonist Tommy Turrentine, who played in many groups including those of Cannonball Adderley, Max Roach, and Horace Parlan, released by Time in 1960. The sextet features his younger brother Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), Julian Priester (trombone), Horace Parlan (piano), Bob Boswell (bass), and Max Roach (drums). The album showcases hard bop with a focus on ensemble playing, including tracks like A1, a blues piece played in minor chords, A2, an arrangement of Bud Powell's score for three horns, and A3, a track filled with an exotic feeling. This is a Japanese reissue in 1990.
