This album shines with its bold stance on the royal road of jazz rather than flashy innovation.
This comeback album lives up to its title, allowing you to enjoy the passion and warmth of this mature Texas tenor.
Cobb's tenor saxophone is thick, lustrous, and filled with humanity. It drives the swinging up-tempo tunes with dynamism, while on ballads it envelops the listener with its rich vibrato and deep vocals. His phrasing never leans toward virtuosity, but always maintains a blues-infused core.
