Released in 1978, this album is by American trumpeter Woody Shaw, who participated in sessions with numerous groups including Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, the Horace Silver Quintet, and the Joe Henderson Quintet, while also leaving behind many masterpieces with his own ensembles. The outstanding septet features Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, Carter Jefferson on tenor and soprano saxophones, Steve Turre on trombone, Onaje Allan Gumbs on piano, Clint Houston on bass, and Gene Greif on drums. Their richly layered ensemble sound and superb performances remain cool and refined while carrying an emotional intensity that can be felt throughout. A true classic. The sophisticated, adult-oriented grooves of A2 and B3 are especially outstanding. Original US pressing.
A2: Every Time I See You
A3: The Legend of Cheops
