Allmusic[5]

In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states: "This excellent session does a fine job of showing off David "Fathead" Newman's jazz talents. ... sounding at his prime on each of his instruments. Recommended".[5] In JazzTimes, David Franklin noted "It’s hard to fault listeners for thinking of David “Fathead” Newman as only a great rhythm and blues tenor player, since many of his short solos on famous Ray Charles recordings have become classics in their own right. But Newman regrets that more people don’t realize he is at heart a straightahead, mainstream player who just happened to be there in the mid-’50s when Charles needed a Texas tenor. If his own previous releases didn’t set the record straight, Davey Blue just might".[6]

Personnel
gollark: But the question just states it as fact and has "yes, torture fat person" and "no, no torturing fat person, you are awful and want the entire city to be explodinated".
gollark: I suppose you could argue that I don't believe it as a "matter of principle" thing, but from what I've heard torture is *not* actually a very effective way to get information.
gollark: For example, there's - on the "fat man" trolley problem question - a question about "do you believe torture is always wrong as a matter of principle" and then "bla bla bla nuclear device torture fat man or not".
gollark: I don't like this philosophyexperiments.com site, it seems to imply things.
gollark: I can make the antimemetics antimemetic such that nobody ever finds out.
