Music and recording


All but two of the compositions are by Hicks.[1] The other two – "Reminds Me" and "Jest a Little" – were by Oliver Lake, who was also the album's co-producer,[2] along with Richard Franklin.[3] "Redd's Blues" is a tribute to pianist Freddie Redd.[1]


Release and reception


The album was released by Passin' Thru Records,[4] around 1998.[3] Hicks' playing was described by the JazzTimes reviewer as ranging "from the lush 19th century Romantic tradition through the vast-American-plains spaciousness of Aaron Copland, while also ingeniously incorporating the swinging phrasing of classic jazz and the challenging twists and turns of post-bop, as epitomized by longtime influence John Coltrane."[1]
