On this recent release he sounds very much in prime, and certainly lost none of his enthusiasm. He teams up withsome of the better Kansas City musicians active in the late '90s(tenor saxophonist Ahmad Alaadeen, guitarist Sonny Kenner,bassist Gerald Spait, and drummer Todd Strait) on a variety ofblues, originals, and swinging tunes, some of which are taken asinstrumentals.
