"...Morgan’s trumpet style was virtually fully formed when he was twenty and has altered hardly at all since, except to become slightly more economical and polished. Morgan is a de­rivative player who leans heavily on Clifford Brown for his inspiration but he’s a craftsman with a warm, fat tone and a knowledge of what solo construction is all about.

The music on this album may be on the predictable side but is very satisfying. All the men are compatible and Jackie McLean, who plays some scorching alto, reverts to his old manner of chordal playing here. It is really McLean’s bag and I’ve never understood why he persisted with his unsatisfactory attempts at free blowing."
