Recorded at a New Haven club in 1962, with a quartet featuring onetime Jimmy Smith guitarist Eddie McFadden.

Smith mixes originals with covers like "Body and Soul" and Benny Golson's "I Remember Clifford," presenting a solid groove on relaxed numbers and more frenetic cuts like "He's a Real Gone Guy" that have a slightly raucous edge.
