This date doesn't pack the same punch as McDuff's 1960s classics, but is mostly enjoyable despite some annoying trumpet from Joey DeFrancesco (a fine organist and McDuff fan) and McDuff's own arrangements for the large band backing him.
Sometimes the two-trumpet/two-sax/trombone frontline seems more of a burden than a help.
They are good players, but they aren't given enough to do to be exciting and sometimes just seem in the way.
While it's great to hear McDuff back on the Hammond B-3, this will not make anyone forget his Prestige dates with George Benson.
