Recorded at the same live session that resulted in Night Music, this LP features trumpeter Woody Shaw's excellent quintet of the 1980s, a group also including trombonist Steve Turre, pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Stafford James and drummer Tony Reedus, plus guest vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. Still very much in prime form at the time, Shaw performs Walter Davis, Jr.'s "400 Years Ago Tomorrow," Thelonious Monk's "Misterioso," the standard "Diane" and one of his best-known originals "Sweet Love Of Mine." In addition, the album concludes with a brief interview during which the trumpeter mostly talks about the recording. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Woody Shaw was one of the top trumpeters of the 1970s and '80s, a major soloist influenced by Freddie Hubbard but more advanced harmonically, who bridged the gap between hard bop and the avant-garde. Unfortunately, his career was hampered by failing eyesight, and his premature death from injuries incurred after being hit by a subway train was a major loss. Shaw grew up in Newark, NJ, where his father was a member of the Diamond Jubilee Singers. After starting on bugle, he switched to the trumpet when he was 11. Shaw left town for a tour with Rufus Jones when he was 18, and then joined Willie Bobo at a time when Bobo's band included Chick Corea. Shaw played and recorded with Eric Dolphy and, after being invited by Dolphy, he traveled to Paris in 1964 just a little too late to join the late saxophonist's band. After a period in Europe playing with (among others) Bud Powell and Johnny Griffin, Shaw spent periods in the groups of Horace Silver (1965-1966), Max Roach (1968-1969), and Art Blakey (1973), in addition to making many recordings (some as a sideman for Blue Note) with such players as Jackie McLean, Andrew Hill, and McCoy Tyner. Other than playing with Dexter Gordon in 1976, Shaw was primarily a leader from this point on, recording for Columbia (important sessions reissued in a Mosaic box set), Red, Enja, Elektra, Muse, and Timeless, plus two Blue Note dates co-led with Freddie Hubbard. His album Rosewood from 1978 earned a Grammy nomination and won the Down Beat Reader's Poll for Best Jazz Album. Although considered a titan in the jazz world during his life, interest and respect for Shaw's music has only grown since his passing.
