Nice mono original blue trident label. Back cover has "preview copy" stamp, and light brown foxing from age.

Yes, the exclamation mark is in the title, as well it should be. Pat the jazz magician, folks saying “how does he do that”?  Post-Wes Montgomerian bop-chops aplenty with a soaring, melodic style and body groove that shakes up the mind with every riff, the big sound is already here in the room, and he’s inspired on this gig. Joe Farrell plays reeds and flute here along with a burning rhythm section and piano (Walton), and his style compliments Pat’s guitar direction, his solos setting up the anticipation for the next guitar jaunt. Pat’s made many records and these older straight-ahead titles tend to be overlooked.  Swings like hell, “Pat” being a name associated with guitar sainthood it would, wouldn’t it?
