5 out of 5 stars under-appreciated master.......2005-04-22

This album is great. I don't know why this guy is not more well-known than he is, possibly because he lived in LA, rather than NYC. Any fan of bebop and hard bop should listen to this album and also "The Fox". Both are great albums that I listed to regularly. Also, you gotta love the picture of him playing in front of the Watts Towers!

5 out of 5 stars Absolute BeBop Beauty!.......2004-11-26

Right up there in my mind with Kind Of Blue as an album to recommend to convert anyone into a jazz lover. For me, it answers the "why" of bebop. Every phrase of Land's tenor sax is an expression of pure, controlled beauty. His group is tight and right, and there's all the variety needed to make a whole presentation of what it's all about.
