"As a jazz fan it's hard to say what might be appealing to other listeners, but this CD is a good place to start. Jazz becomes a very personal thing as you develop your ear to what rhythms move you. My personal story about this CD begins when I spent a weekend at the Mondrian Hotel in LA, CA. The hotel provided it in the room as part of their musical suggestion. After a busy Friday on a warm spring day I found myself unwinding to the entire album, and I loved it. This CD represents some of Quincy's most earliest work as a musician. Most people are familiar with his other R&D works which gave him his Icon status. This lets you step back with him and early friends at a time when it all began. The sound is warm, alive, and still fresh, even though by today's standard it has been labeled with the classical jazz feel. Great jazz will put you into a feel good mood. This album will do just that by letting you to come back to those memories when you first hear it, and felt alive."
