This CD reissue is an excellent example of tenor saxophonist
Jimmy Forrest in a soulful but fairly straight-ahead setting. Accompanied by pianist
Joe Zawinul, bassist
Tommy Potter and drummer
Clarence Johnston,
Forrest revives his "Bolo Blues," and plays his basic "Crash Program," and otherwise sticks to melodic standards. His highly expressive powers and ability to say a lot with a few notes is very much in evidence on this excellent set.
