recorded live directly to two-track by Jim Anderson at Power Station Studios in NYC in December 1994. Mastered using JVC's audiophile 20-bit K2 XRCD technology.



Multi-Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Ernie Watts is joined by Geri Allen, Jack Gomez and Steve Swallow. Ernie Watts is in top form throughout this fine modern mainstream date, playing with both passion and lyricism on a variety of standards and originals. One of Watts's finest sessions.



The most unusual aspect to this Ernie Watts recording is that the great tenor is joined by a two-bass quartet. Eddie Gomez on acoustic and Steve Swallow on electric blend together quite well, are featured in a delightful version of Oscar Pettiford's "Tricotism" and (with pianist Geri Allen and drummer Jack DeJohnette) keep the accompaniment consistently stimulating. Ernie Watts is in top form throughout this fine modern mainstream date, playing with both passion and lyricism on a variety of standards and originals (which, in addition to four songs from the leader, include one apiece from DeJohnette and Swallow). There is just enough variety to keep the proceedings from ever getting predictable, making this one of Watts' finest sessions.
