Brown took a fresh approach for this 1982 date, retaining the trio format but substituting flute for drums and using Monty Alexander instead of regular pianist Gene Harris. The results were intriguing; Sam Most provided colors and sounds that haven’t been on a Brown date since, while Alexander added some Caribbean flavor and a bit more adventurous sound. ~Allmusic
