"[This] must-have archival compendium (...) showcases Sidran's unique and distinctive approach to the jazz idiom. A graduate of the Mose Allison school of songcraft, Sidran's tunes are infused with wit, wordplay and wisdom. He also plays some mean bop-inspired piano ... Highlights include Song For A Sucker Like You, New York State Of Mind (which he recorded before its writer, Billy Joel), and a jaunty slice of R&B called The Funkusaurus, featuring a super-syncopated jabbing solo from Sidran's long-time saxophonist, Bob Malach".
