Dos nove álbuns de Booker Ervin para a Prestige, este é especial porque apresenta o saxofonista exclusivamente no contexto de standards. A sua agressividade e energia, o seu incomparável estilo sonoro Texano expansivo, estão presentes, mas a familiaridade das composições guia as suas explorações musicais, que são como sempre aventurosas e audazes.

Of Booker Ervin's nine Prestige albums, this one is special because it presents him exclusively in the context of standard songs. Ervin's aggressiveness, his ferocity, his incomparable Texas spaciousness of sound and style, are undiminished. But the compositions provide familiar guideposts by which to track his explorations, which were unfailingly full of adventure and daring. In his only recorded appearance with Ervin, pianist Tommy Flanagan balances the music with his customary elegance. On bass and drums are Ervin's frequent recording companions Richard Davis and Alan Dawson.
