It's a GREAT record. Hard to pick one tune off of there - the whole album is consistently good. Quintessential Grant and Larry for sure.

I have it on cd now (in the Larry Mosaic), but I was looking for a copy in the late 70s and early 80s and was having no luck. I was familiar with the recording -a friend of mine had it - and I just had to get a copy.

I was on the road in Scranton Pa in 1984 and walked into a second hand shop one afternoon when I was just killing time. Second hand books, clothing, vinyl. There it was! In great shape and for.......A QUARTER!

Needless to say, I scooped it right up.

I like the first song on each side better than the second, but no matter. One of my favorites.

One of my favorite GG albums. Grant and Larry work it out on this one! The first tune is probably my fav, but just by a slither with the others.

Bobby's entry on the title tune, the way it just lays in the pocket, and the way the pocket lays around it...worth the cost of admission all by itself.

This one is a desert island disc for me. I never tire of it. All the tunes are great.

Love this one!

I first got 'run over' on the 'Street of Dreams' in 1970 when my teacher, Bill McEneaney, played it during a meeting of our South Kingstown High School Jazz Club. Mack would play an LP track and then the 10 or 12 of us would talk about it, if we wanted to. The tune he chose was 'Lazy Afternoon' -- it slayed me then and still does. Mack's set-up went along the lines of,"I've got something that's gonna getcha from the inside-out -- especially the organ playing of Larry Young. This is the kind of group sound that just grows on ya."

Mack was our 'chaperone' who often drove us up to Boston and got us into the Jazz Workshop to catch Getz, Mulligan, Roland Kirk, etc. (Pretty cool for high school.)
