Personnel on this 1966 Atlantic album include Cedar Walton on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Billy Higgins on drums and Ray Codrington on trumpet.

Personnel: Eddie Harris (tenor saxophone); Ray Codrington (trumpet); Cedar Walton (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).

Originally released on Atlantic (1448). Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather.

This is one of Eddie Harris' great records and fortunately all of the music from the LP has returned as part of a reissue in the Rhino/Atlantic CD series (combined with Harris' Mean Greens date). The underrated but popular tenor-saxophonist introduces his standard "Freedom Jazz Dance," plays one of the earlier versions of "The Shadow of Your Smile," romps on "Love for Sale" and "'S Wonderful," and also performs "Born to Be Blue" and his own "Cryin' Blues." Harris is heard in prime form in a quartet/quintet with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Billy Higgins, and sometimes trumpeter Ray Codrington. A gem. ~ Scott Yanow
