Reception
In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "Pianist Cedar Walton heads a medium-size group on this 1986 Delos CD, a rhythm section with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Higgins plus a five piece horn section ... Unfortunately the horns mostly stick to ensemblework but Walton and his trio are in top form".
