Review
by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Mimi Fox has long been a fixture in the San Francisco Bay area. A fine hard bop-based guitarist with a sound of her own (that sometimes hints a little at Grant Green), Fox is in excellent form throughout this CD. Backed on most selections by a local trio, Fox alternates stimulating originals with such standards as "Night and Day" and "My Romance." This set (recorded at a couple of clubs in 1991-1992, and before a live audience in a studio in 1995) concludes with an eight-minute, three-song unaccompanied medley during which Mimi Fox shows off her talents on acoustic guitar. Fine music.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
La guitarrista Mimi Fox ha sido durante mucho tiempo una fija en el área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Una excelente guitarrista de hard bop con un sonido propio (que a veces recuerda un poco a Grant Green), Fox está en excelente forma a lo largo de este CD. Respaldada en la mayoría de las selecciones por un trío local, Fox alterna estimulantes originales con estándares como "Night and Day" y "My Romance". Este conjunto (grabado en un par de clubes en 1991-1992, y ante un público en directo en un estudio en 1995) concluye con un popurrí de ocho minutos de tres canciones sin acompañamiento durante el cual Mimi Fox muestra su talento con la guitarra acústica. Buena música.
