Sealed 1987 Original. Saw Cut. “For This Superior Showcase, Tenorman David Newman (Who Also Plays Some Alto And Flute) Jams On Four Jazz Standards And His Own "Heads Up" And "For Buster" While Joined By A Top-Notch Rhythm Section Consisting Of Vibraphonist Steve Nelson, Pianist Kirk Lightsey, Bassist David Williams And Drummer Eddie Gladden. Although Often Placed In More Tightly Arranged Settings Throughout His Career, Newman Really Excels In A Small-Group Format, Where His Soulful Tones And Expertise At Jamming Over Common Chord Changes Are Best Displayed. This Was One Of His Better Sets, Even Though The Album Is Not Very Well Known.” – Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
