Great Session!

"Milt stepped away from his MJQ cohorts to record this one, and what a gem! I bought the originally issued Limelite label LP back in the day, it immediately became one the handful of my jazz favorites, and so remains today. Milt lets loose and swings in this group, with Jimmy Heath on Sax and Milt playing off eachother. Short pieces, true, but each hits the mark, and there is plenty of room for the vibes and sax players to express and innovate on the musical themes. My day became special today, because I discovered this was reissued (finally) on CD."

Great songs, Lack of exploration

"The songs on this CD are too short. The songs themselves are excellent but they are all around the 3 minuet mark. It seems as though they were in a hurry to end the songs. The song Ineffable fades out so fast as if the engineer had something better to do. The sound during the song Spanish Fly has a bad sound like an old scratchy record. The all the solos are bright but lack exploration, as if they were in a big hurry to end the songs. With that said I still enjoy the CD somewhat though overall a dissapointment"
