I hadn't listened to this one in a few years.  I just googled guitarist Howard Collins and found out that he passed away in 2015.  He was a fine guitarist who sounded great with Lewis.  His less-is-more style reminds me of Jim Hall.

This was one of my first Messengers Albums, I later purchased the CD also. It was a highlight of our "jazz gang" at highschool, a lot of Youngsters came to my place and we would listen to it. Everybody dug "Moanin´" . 

And this edition of the Messengers was one of my favourites: Valery Ponomarev tp, Bobby Watson as, Dave Schnitter ts, James Williams p, Irving on bass. But when I saw them for the first time, Billy Pierce had replaced David Schnitter and I think on bass was Charles Fambrough, former with McCoy Tyner if I remember right. 

The only shortcoming on this album is that it´s too short, Maybe 35 minutes only……..
