From the back cover: A couple of years ago bass man Eldee Young and drummer Red Holt parted company with Ramsey Lewis, after the group had functioned for some twelve years as a unit.

For Young and Holt, it was an exciting challenge. The long years of toiling in the jazz field had left them with their musical skills sharpened with their musical ears and eyes wide open to locate where they could fit int today's complex world of entertainment.

They titled themselves, appropriately, Young-Holt Unlimited. And there does seem to be no limited on their capabilities or their talent.

With Ramsey Lewis, they had shared in the excitement of such walloping bit hits as The "In" Crowd and Hang On Sloopy, and in the thrill of copping a Grammy Award. They had played in every major club and on every important stage in the country. They were inching their way up into the top rungs of the favorite instrumentals in the Down Beat annual jazz poll.
