"My first experience with Blakey, "Moanin'", was a bit of a lat down. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty good, but it just felt a bit restrained, and I like jazz for the freedom it gives to the players. This, on the other hand, is some hot shit that definitely plays quite well on that freedom. Blakey' solo on the title track is probably the best I've heard in all of jazz"
