Review by Scott Yanow
After he stopped teaching in 1974, Lucky Thompson permanently dropped out of music. On what would be his final album, Thompson (along with keyboardist Cedar Walton, bassist Sam Jones, and drummer Louis Hayes) performs five mostly straight-ahead originals, "The Moment of Truth," and the standard "Cherokee." Thompson, switching between tenor and soprano, was still very much in his musical prime at the time of this LP but apparently soon became sick of the whole music business, a major loss to jazz. He plays quite well throughout the set.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Después de dejar de dar clases en 1974, Lucky Thompson abandonó definitivamente la música. En el que sería su último álbum, Thompson (junto con el teclista Cedar Walton, el bajista Sam Jones y el baterista Louis Hayes) interpreta cinco originales, en su mayoría directos, "The Moment of Truth" y el estándar "Cherokee". Thompson, que cambia entre tenor y soprano, estaba todavía en su mejor momento musical en el momento de este LP, pero aparentemente pronto se cansó de todo el negocio de la música, una gran pérdida para el jazz. Toca bastante bien en todo el conjunto.
