Pretty amazing. What really captured my interest wasn't Larry Young (although he definitely does know how to work that organ) but the trumpet player, Woody Shaw. I've heard of him before downloading this album, but this was the first time that I really listened to him play and improvise. Pretty amazing stuff, he has a sound unlike any other player I've heard. He really jumps all over the staff and can pull it off incredibly well, something that is not only technically challenging but pretty unusual for a trumpet player.

I also like a lot of Shaw's own compositions on the record, particularly Zoltan, the opening track.
