Originally reviewed for week ending 7/18/81

Pianist Galper taped this LP in Germany 19 months ago with a rhythm section, including John Scofield's guitar, providing strong backup. The program contains six titles, four of them Galper originals. Oddly, one of the tracks, "Monk's Mood," is purely a Scofield solo. A pleasing showcase for him, and for Galper's inventive pianistics. Best cuts: "Yellow Days," "Monk's Mood," "My Dog Spot."
