Review by Scott Yanow ~allmusicTracklist:
Two of pianist Cedar Walton's lesser-known Prestige albums (Spectrum and "The Electric Boogaloo Song") are combined on this single-CD reissue. With strong assistance from trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan and one of two rhythm sections (either Richard Davis or Bob Cranshaw on bass and Jack DeJohnette or Mickey Roker on drums), Walton performs six of his originals ("Ugetsu" is best-known while "The Electric Boogaloo Song" was an attempt at a hit), two standards, Clifford Jordan's "Impressions of Scandinavia" and Calvin Massey's "Lady Charlotte." The music, essentially advanced hard bop with a few odd twists, is well-played if not essential.

Cedar Anthony Walton, Junior (born January 17, 1934) is an American hard bop jazz pianist.
Walton grew up in Dallas, Texas. His mother was an aspiring concert pianist, and was Walton's initial teacher. She also took him to jazz performances around Dallas. As a result, he was exposed to a wide range of jazz, including Nat King Cole, Errol Garner, Mary Lou Williams, Earl Hines, Hank Jones, Oscar Peterson, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. Walton cites Nat King Cole, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Art Tatum as his major influences on piano. He began emulating recordings of these artists from an early age, and also began composing "hieroglyphics" for friends to play along with him.
While on family vacation as a teen his family visited the University of Denver, which was surprised and attracted Walton because the "dormitories were coed." He ended up attending the University of Denver as a composition major originally, but was encouraged to switch to a music education program targeted to set up a career in the local public school system. This switch later proved extremely useful since Walton learned to play and arrange for various instruments, a talent he would hone with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
Walton was tempted by the promise of New York through his associations with the likes of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Richie Powell, who he met at various after hours sessions around the city of Denver. In 1955, he decided to leave school and drove with a friend to New York City. He quickly got recognition from Johnny Garry, who ran Birdland at that time. Garry included Walton on Monday nights with players "striving to make a name for themselves."
Walton was drafted into the Army, and stationed in Germany, cutting short his rising status in the after hours scene. While in the Army, he played with musicians Leo Wright, Don Ellis, and Eddie Harris. Upon his discharge, he picked up where he left off, playing as a sideman with Kenny Dorham and J. J. Johnson, and joining the Jazztet, led by Benny Golson and Art Farmer. Walton played with this group from 1958 to 1961. In April 1959, Cedar Walton recorded an alternate take of "Giant Steps" with John Coltrane, though he did not solo.
In the early 1960s, he joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers as a pianist-arranger for 3 years (the same day as Freddie Hubbard), where he played with Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard. In this group, he demonstrated a keen sense of arranging in originals such as "Ugetsu" and "Mosaic". He left the Messengers in 1964 and by the late 1960s was part of the house rhythm section at Prestige Records, where in addition to releasing his own recordings, he recorded with Sonny Criss, Pat Martino, Eric Kloss, and Charles McPherson. For a year, he served as Abbey Lincoln's accompanist, and recorded with Lee Morgan from 1966 to 1968. During the mid-1970s, Walton led the funk group Mobius.
In 1974, Cedar Walton formed his own band, Eastern Rebellion. From the 1980s until the present day, Cedar Walton has remained active, and many of his compositions have been adopted as jazz standards, including "Firm Roots", "Bolivia" and "Cedar's Blues". "Bolivia" is perhaps Walton's best known composition, while one of his oldest is "Fantasy in D", recorded under the title "Ugetsu" by Art Blakey in 1963.
In January 2010, he was inducted as a member of the NEA 2010 class of Jazz Masters. He stated "It's quite an honor because it represents the endurance of an artist and his output as an artist and his ability to keep a certain stream of good performances throughout his or her career."
