Reception
The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4 stars and stated "The first half features the vibraphonist in a cooking hard bop session with Joe Henderson and Duke Pearson, starting with an energetic take on the normally slow ballad "If Ever I Would Leave You" and a sizzling Hutcherson original, "For Duke P." Guitarist Grant Green is added for the second half, beginning with the first recording of Henderson's "The Kicker," which became well known from its later rendition on Horace Silver's best selling release Song for My Father".[2]

gollark: Yes. I would add functions if I *needed* them.
gollark: See, Minoteaur is technically public but entirely without support, so if I somehow need to change a thing, I'll just dump the database, manually edit the SQL dump, fix the migrations, make a new database, and load it back in.
gollark: It doesn't have a way to revert migrations because I never actually make mistakes.
gollark: Nim.
gollark: There's an array of SQL scripts a bit above it.
