5 out of 5 stars A timeless session.......2006-08-14

Recorded by a quartet of Roach on organ,Joe Henderson on Tenor Sax, Eddie Wright on guitar and Clarence Johnston on drums this was the fourth of five albums that Roach recorded for Blue Note as a leader.Roach brought a very different set of sounds to the Hammond, and in Henderson seemed to have found a perfect foil, as he wraps his usually deep sound around the solos of the other players.On first hearing it seems that Wright's guitar playing might be too far back in the mix, but repeated listening confirms that although not as dominant as the two main soloists he plays an important part in the overall sound, particularly in the slower numbers. The repetoire itself is very mixed with a couple of very uptempo tracks, "Brown Sugar" ( a joyous sounding cooker of a track)and "Next Time you see me" combined with a couple of extended blues work outs. I especially liked the version of Quincy Jones' "The Midnight Sun will never set". The version of "The Right Time" is also excellent and bears very little resemblance to the Ray Charles version of the song. The quality of the remastering is excellent, and even though the CD contains no unreleased tracks or out-takes ( I asssume that the session produced none) this is an excellent re-issue. As I repeat in many of the reviews for these Blue Note albums, the reissue programme appears to have no logic, and this is another one that you ought to purchase before they delete it again. A timeless session that is highly recommended.
