Recorded Live at Condon's in New York, May 24th/25th, 1990 Witherspoon is joined by Dave Jackson (bass), Walter Perkins (drums), Bross Townsend (piano) and Harold Ousley (saxophone) to showcase some truly stellar performances on an array of classic compositions including 'Goin' to Chicago' and 'I'm Knocking Out Your Teeth Tonight'.
