Review by Ron Wynn
Nat Adderley teamed with alto saxophonist Sonny Fortune on two albums for Theresa in the mid-'80s, including this six-cut outing. Fortune, capable of playing with as much invention, energy, and drive as any contemporary alto player, was uniformly aggressive and intense. He dominated the proceedings, followed closely by the outstanding rhythm section duo of underrated bassist Walter Booker and drummer Jimmy Cobb. But neither Adderley nor pianist Larry Willis, who supplied half the date's songs, were in top form. Willis played some nice melodies but did not offer much during his solos, while Adderley was plagued by sloppy articulation. However, the work of Fortune, who has not recorded nearly often enough, salvages things somewhat.
