i've stolen more licks off this album than any other of freddie's numerous recordings. freddie is fiery, introspective, playful and endlessly inventive on this album. check the intro to hub tones: the atypical rhythmic patterns and interval leaps provide no clue that he's about to lay in an uptempo blues groove. the ensemble is tight and, more importantly, the feeling is there in every song. most impressive to me, however, is the contrast between the takes -- each solo is markedly different. given the amazing lines freddie plays, you are forced to acknowledge what a brilliant improviser he is. my only regret is that listening to this album makes me sad that he might stop playing altogether. freddie supposedly recently told sonny rollins (who told a friend of mine who told me) that he is going to give up playing the trumpet. if true, the world is losing one of the true masters of the instrument.
