Bro, hearing the intro to the song, all the horns at the beggining in a kind of crescendo with such s feeling in every single person playing made me know instantly I had bought an absolute gem on vinyl for like 5 dollars. It wasn't even opened! Damn, I love Tabackin and Akiyoshi♥️

This is the album & chart that really turned me on to Bobby Shew.
