Review
by Scott Yanow
Yusef Lateef's Atlantic albums tended to be erratic affairs with plenty of chances taken and the overall results being a mixed success. This set is one of his better efforts from the era. Lateef, doubling on tenor and alto this time, is backed not only by his trio but a big band, string quartet, three background vocalists and a variety of electric keyboardists and guitarists. There are enough good tracks (particularly "Lunceford Prance," "Rockhouse" and "I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You") to make this a release worth checking out.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Los álbumes de Yusef Lateef para Atlantic solían ser erráticos, con muchas oportunidades y resultados desiguales. Este álbum es uno de sus mejores trabajos de la época. Lateef, que esta vez toca el tenor y el contralto, está respaldado no sólo por su trío, sino también por una big band, un cuarteto de cuerda, tres coristas y varios teclistas y guitarristas eléctricos. Hay suficientes temas buenos (sobre todo "Lunceford Prance", "Rockhouse" y "I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You") para que merezca la pena echarle un vistazo.
