Bass – Eddie Khan
Drums – Otis Finch
Guitar – Kenny Burrell
Organ – Shirley Scott

This 1964 session was pretty laid-back and subdued, Scott leading a quartet including Kenny Burrell on guitar, Otis Finch on drums, and Eddie Kahn on bass. It's Sunday morning soul-jazz, and such is the languor and even keel of most of the tunes. Burrell has almost as much presence as Scott does on this date, coming to the fore with bluesy licks on the cover of T-Bone Walker's "They Call It Stormy Monday" (as it's titled here), getting into a more bopping groove on the folk cover "The Kerry Dance," and setting an easygoing pace on "Trav'lin' Light." The musicians get most adventurous on Miles Davis' "Solar," with an angularity and briskness missing from the other cuts. All six of the tunes are covers, including the overdone standard "Baby, It's Cold Outside." The album has been available in its entirety, in tandem with Scott's Soul Sister (recorded in 1960) on Prestige's CD reissue Soul Sister, which adds the title song from Scott's LP Now's the Time. ---Richie Unterberger, AllMusic Review

During the 1960's, Shirley Scott's Impulse albums were often split between big band selections (with orchestras arranged by Oliver Nelson) and trio features. This CD reissue from 1989 includes all of the contents from two of Scott's better Impulse albums, Great Scott and For Members Only. In general the eight trio numbers are the most rewarding performances on the disc since the material is fairly superior while the big band tracks emphasize then-current show and movie tunes. Overall this generous CD gives one a good overview of Shirley Scott's playing talents. ~ Scott Yanow

Shirley Scott (March 14, 1934 – March 10, 2002) was an American hard bop and soul-jazz organist. She was known as 'Queen of the Organ'.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Scott was an admirer of Jimmy Smith, and played piano and trumpet before moving to the Hammond organ, her main instrument, though on occasion she still played piano. In the 1950s she became known for her work (1956–1959) with the saxophone player Eddie Davis, particularly on the song "In the Kitchen". She was married to Stanley Turrentine and played with him from 1960 to 1969. Later, she led her own group, mostly a trio. Saxophonist Harold Vick often played with her. In the 1980s she became a jazz educator.

Scott died of heart failure in 2002, and it is believed this had been hastened by the diet drug fen-phen.
