Altoist Sonny Criss' next to last recording (as with his final effort, The Joy of Sax), is a commercial date in which he is accompanied by a funky rhythm section, strings, and horns. Even on his own "Blues for Willie" (and definitely on "The Way We Were," "Bumpin'," and "Memories"), Criss sounded like he was going out of his way to record a hit; at that he failed. The music on this out of print LP is pleasant but badly dated.
