Originally released by the tiny RIZA label, this CD reissue has one of drummer Billy Higgins’ few dates as a leader. Actually, Higgins mostly plays a supportive role as usual, backing saxophonist Gary Bias (heard in top form), pianist William Henderson, and bassist Tony Dumas. Bias, Henderson, and William James Lee contributed all of the material, which is fresh, generally modal post-bop. Well worth picking up. – Scott Yanow
