Reviewed by Maria Evelyn
12 tracks of sax and not much else besides. Donald Johnson is without doubt a gifted saxophonist, but you can have too much of a good thing. There are a number of good musicians on this album who could and should have taken the lead from time to time - this would have given the whole thing variation and made it less monotonous. The style is sadly dated and because of this the music fails to penetrate the heart.
