This recording is another jazz surprise â€" an exhilarating one! Liberated from all constraints, Billy plays with a joy of self-discovery on the swing tunes that is infectious Moreover, on ballads here, he plays with a subtle, gently probling romanticism that is never sentimental and thereby is all the more penetrating. In mobile space that is all his own, he swings with more ease, liveliness, and resilience than ever before. He makes the standard songs in the set sound as if he were playing them for the first time. For this listener, the Billy Taylor that emerges here was a surprise â€" a daring risk-taker who has absorbed the entire jazz tradition but now breaks through as an immediately identifiable personal force.
As for his playing -often in a trio context- it is unerringly logical, unfailing coherent, and always cohesive. But, as I’ve discovered in this solo album, there is another startling dimension to Billy’s music when he is free to plumb the improvisational depths of his imagination in conversation with himself. -From the liner notes by Nat Hentoff
