Tenor and Baritone Saxophonist Turk Mauro didn't lack for credentials during his career. He'd gigged with such diverse jazz artists as Henry "Red" Allen, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Billy Mitchell, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, and Richie Cole. Critics were taking note of Mauro's robust style. W. Royal Stokes, writing in the Washington Post, called him "a swinger with his feet in the old school but with ideas out of the bop era and later." This album, a classic re-release, features Mauro's interpretations of jazz standards and originals, recorded in Nola Studios, New York City in 1981. It showcases a crispy sound engineered by the legendary Malcom Addey and Rudy VanGelder and includes special guests like Alto Saxophonist Richie Cole.
