Review: O'Neal's first studio album in 15 years and it is a terrific showcase for this pianist and vocalist! Working with two young lions in his trio, O'Neal demonstrates his mastery whether playing bop, post-bop, blues, or ballads. Roy Hargrove & Grant Stewart guest on several tracks.
If You Like: Joe Williams, Bud Powell, Horace Silver
