Although the original LP was reissued under guitarist Kenny Burrell's name, it was originally led by Frank Wess, who is heard doubling on flute and tenor. With the assistance of Burrell, rhythm guitarist Freddie Green, bassist Eddie Jones and either Kenny Clarke or Gus Johnson on drums, Wess is in excellent form on a set very reminiscent (not too surprisingly considering the personnel) of the Count Basie band. Wess contributed four of the songs, Burrell brought in "Southern Exposure" and the quintet also plays "Over the Rainbow" and the obscure "Woolafunt's Lament." This is a fine straightahead date, with Wess's flute taking solo honors.

Aunque el LP original fue reeditado bajo el nombre del guitarrista Kenny Burrell, fue originalmente dirigido por Frank Wess, que se escucha doblando en flauta y tenor. Con la ayuda de Burrell, el guitarrista rítmico Freddie Green, el bajista Eddie Jones y Kenny Clarke o Gus Johnson en la batería, Wess está en excelente forma en un set que recuerda mucho (no es demasiado sorprendente considerando el personal) a la banda de Count Basie. Wess contribuyó con cuatro de las canciones, Burrell trajo "Southern Exposure" y el quinteto también toca "Over the Rainbow" y el oscuro "Woolafunt's Lament". Esta es una buena cita directa, con la flauta de Wess recibiendo honores como solista.
