    Falling somewhere between the Vince Guaraldi Trio and the group work of band leaders like Teddy Charles, Jack Wilson, and Les McCann, this often neglected LP fills in some of the evolution between modal jazz and soul jazz. And like those other band leaders, Tanner was a great composer and arranger as well as musician. If you can get a hold of an original copy, you’ll note right away that the dynamics are far better than the recent re-release.
