AllMusic Review by Ken Dryden:
Whether at the helm of a record date or as a sideman, Clifford Jordan was known for giving his all. These studio recordings were originally made for Strata East, a label known for its adventurous spirit. The tenor saxophonist leads two separate groups. The sextet selections include trombonist Julian Priester, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassists Wilbur Ware and Richard Davis, drummer Albert Heath, and trumpeter Don Cherry. Jordan’s pensive “Vienna” is given an extended workout, with Cherry’s somewhat abstract playing fitting in rather well. The second piece, Jordan’s “Doug’s Prelude,” is also a bit brooding, showcasing the leader, Priester, and Kelly (https://goo.gl/hgB7Ak).
