Liner Note Author: Dan Morgenstern. Recording information: RCA Recording Studios, New York, NY (01/16/1976). Recorded in 1976, these rhythmic melodies are fine improvisational works. Performing with zeal and compatibility, the six individuals here form a unit that makes the recordings a jazzy breeze. Eminently easy to listen to, WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT combines solid musicianship, blue notes, and heated riffs. Roy Eldridge may be the headliner, but he's joined by first rate jazzmen such as Budd Johnson on tenor saxophone and Norris Turney on alto. Johnson's solo chorus on the track titled "I Still Love Him So" is as energetic and as whimsical as Eldridge's trumpet preceding it. "The Heat's On" flies out of the speakers, and fills the ears with beautiful and sensitive phrasing from the soloists. "Recado Bossa Nova" is cool modern jazz, with an infectious Latin beat. Eldridge's horn is soft, and the song is bolstered by Milt Jackson's vibraphone and Turney's flute.
