It seems odd that this Galaxy LP was recorded at the same time as
Way Out West for the rival Muse label. Bassist
Richard Davis teams up with trumpeter
Eddie Henderson, tenor saxophonist
Joe Henderson, keyboardist
Stanley Cowell and drummer
Billy Cobham for five selections that are highlighted by "Silver's Serenade," "Nardis" and a rare cover version of
Donald Byrd's "Fancy Free"; singer Dolly Hirota is featured on "I Still Love You, Baby." Overall this is the stronger of the sets recorded during the two-day period in 1977, an advanced and mostly straightahead effort.
