Papa Taj's music has always brought a smile to my face. Whether it's his old standards or new releases like this. Awesome album of Jazz tunes sung wonderfully by The Maestro

Great album but there was quite a bit of noise on my pressing, especially the last song on side B. Would be amazing otherwise. May send it back and try another copy.

Love this album. Classic standards with Taj’s unique blues style. Note that the vinyl has 4 less tracks than the CD but a download card is included for these songs. I saw Taj the other night at Wolf Trap, VA and he was excellent. Taj still has it!

Agree with Mr. Skunk!
Great release by Taj. Flat, quiet pressing.
Sublime music, well performed and recorded.
Highly recommended, so go get this!

Fantastic pressing! The vinyl is dead flat, clean, and sounds amazing. Taj and his band are in top form here. Highly recommended!
