Guitarist Greg Skaff assembles a masterful trio with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Albert "Tootie" Health, two NEA Jazz Masters for this rewarding set. Well-known for his work with soul jazz legends and with groups based around the Hammond B-3 organ, this date is surprisingly Skaff's first recording in the past 30+ years leading a guitar trio alone without piano or organ. It's also special set for the legendary reunion of Carter and Heath who worked together with history making results in the early 60s with guitarist Wes Montgomery and on a landmark recording with pianist Bobby Timmons. But, they have collaborated only once since. Skaff takes full advantage of this inspirational setting delivering an album all three are immensely proud of.
