REVIEW   This set starts out with a nice soulful blues, before moving into a fast swinging piece, where all participants get a solo spot. Side two opens with an unusual drums and organ only piece that will be a bit trying the average listener. Things get back on track with a mid tempo shuffle as a closer that features a good few Jimmy solo moments. Competent and soulful.
