A definite conversation starter from tenorist Willie Morris – a rich-voiced player who steps out here in a set of mostly original material that really knocks things out of the park! Willie’s got this way of wrapping his horn next to the alto of Patrick Cornelius – as the pair move things past conventional hardbop, maybe in the way that Hank Mobley or Lee Morgan were doing at Blue Note near the end of the 60s, but with a more conventional vibe as well – one that picks up plenty of energy from the rest of the group – Jon Davis on piano, Adi Meyerson on bass, and Ej Strickland on drums! There’s a soaring, soulful quality to the whole thing that’s wonderful – a shining moment from a leader we’ll be watching in years to come – served up on titles that include “Keep Talking”, “Azar”, “Tina’s Dream”, “St Upton Hin”, and “Cries”, and “The Strength Of Those Who Bear The Burden”.
