This is an easy set to enjoy. Guitarist Ximo Tebar has a style in the tradition of Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, and early George Benson without copying his predecessors. Teaming up with organist Dr. Lonnie Smith and drummer Idris Muhammad, Tebar performs standards and basic originals in a relaxed, bluish, and swinging fashion. Veteran altoist Lou Donaldson comes close to stealing the show during his three appearances ("Laura," "Midnight Creeper," and "Blues Walk"), but Tebar remains confident and rises to the occasion. Fans of mid-'60s soul-jazz organ dates will find much to enjoy here. -- Scott Yanow
