Blakey again has found superior young talent, and refined and polished their skills by providing constant work in a variety of situations. It is appropriate that the album's second tune, "Ms. B.C. (by Watson's wife Pamela), is a dedication to jazz singer Betty Carter, who has also taken upon herself the mission of passing down values and musical knowledge to her young collaborators.
The road is indeed the true finishing school for the jazz musician, and this album is the culmination of nine months of steady work on one-nighters and week-long stands, primarily on European tours for Timeless' producer Wim Wigt. The fruits of Blakey's work are apparent on this album: it is truly an ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
