Text on the CD back cover: Stanley Turrentine's mellow, creamy sound was heard at its best in this excellent album, the last one recorded for CTI in 1973. Arranged by Bob James, and with a band that featured Richard Tee, Eric Gale, Idris Muhammad and Ron Carter, it enabled the tenor saxophonist to display his smooth, easygoing style in tunes that were catchy and broad-ranging. Contains three previously unreleased selections.
