After ten years with the legendary Thelonious Monk, tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse leads a quintet for the first time, joining Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Walter Bishop (piano), Art Taylor (drums), and Earl May (bass) in this solid set of obscure tunes. The music is very enjoyable, comfortably in hard bop territory.

Grade: B.
