Images (Ralph Moore album)

Images is the fourth album led by saxophonist Ralph Moore which was recorded in 1989 and released on the Landmark label.

Reception

In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "The particularly strong material and the all-star lineup make this a particularly enjoyable set from the tenorman. Although still displaying the inspiration (soundwise) of early-'60s John Coltrane, Moore had developed an increasingly original style within the modern mainstream throughout the 1980s ... One of Ralph Moore's more significant recordings to date".
