Roach's organ sits thick in the mix here, greasy and unhurried, cut at Van Gelder's studio like half of Blue Note's catalog. The title track is the one that carries the record — a slow-cooked groove that never rushes to the hook because there isn't one. Nothing flashy, nothing wasted. If you like your jazz-funk with more pocket than pyrotechnics, start here.
