Allmusic[2]

The Allmusic review stated "This excellent set features Al Grey on two sessions in peak form. The trombonist is the lead voice in an octet for four numbers that also feature tenorman Hal Singer, and he joins forces with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest (they were both in Count Basie's band at the time) in a quintet also including pianist Tommy Flanagan for three other tunes. ... Accessible and swinging music".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Over here all universities cost the same for in-country students, and they select almost entirely on academic whatever, which is nice.
gollark: Still unlikely to be worth it if you don't really need it for job reasons.
gollark: Okay, so maybe several tens of kilodollars instead?
gollark: Maybe it'll have more funlolz™ and whatever over a random reasonably priced one but frankly I doubt it's enough to justify the cost.
gollark: I doubt you'll get 200 kilodollars in financial benefit from it.
