Kicking things off with an awesome take on Memphis Slim's "Everyday I Have The Blues", this cool little record keeps the energy high throughout. McGriff's own tracks "The Groove Fly" and "Butterfly" really stand out too. There's some great back-and-forth between McGriff and George Freeman on guitar. It's a thin record but it's well-pressed, no issues or defects. My copy is in great shape, hardly any hiss or noise to speak of.
