The sound quality couldn't match the materials

"The material on this disc is as good as, if not better, other Milt Jackson CD. However, the recording is pretty old. The disc seem to be a straight transfer, making the disc sound like a bad recording from a old tape. If you are a hardcore M.J fan, you'll enjoy the disc. Otherwise, you may be better off with other MJ discs, such as "Bag Groove", or "Bag Meet Wes"."

The Wizard of the Vibes

"Highly recommended to all true bop-fans.Here we have that great musician at an early stage of his career. I especially like the tracks with Thelonious Monk for the combination of Jackson's crispy sounding improvisations with Monk's unique style. The other half of the album is done by the members of the MJQ with Lou Donaldson added, offering the really rare occasion of listening to this group plus a hornplayer."
