Interesting Mix of traditional and stretching out

""Ochre" and "Flashback" are unusual and intriguing pieces; traditional hard bop on the rest of these tracks. Studio pro Dick Kniss on bass; Dick Berk on drums. Not an essential album but inventive enough to hold your interest."

"It is fantastic how Jazz could always surprise you. Even when you think to own everything important ever recorded, bam!! A gem hits you straight in the middle of your eyes with the power of a fist!!! This record is something that you surely have to own if you love trio jazz or jazz in general. Yes you can hear some Bill Evans stylisms here and there but Don Friedman is an incredible strong pianist. Very very good. Exceptional the rhythmn section too and the interplay is quite good. I have every sixties album from Don and they are all great. Even the abstract parts are always intriguing and inventive. Beautiful!!"
