Review by Scott Yanow
Jay Hoggard's lone date for Contemporary (reissued as an OJC CD) was one of the vibraphonist's finest early sets. The music (all six songs are Hoggard originals) falls into the area of advanced hard bop. Chief among the sidemen are Chico Freeman (heard on tenor, soprano and bass clarinet), keyboardist Kenny Kirkland, and colorful percussionist Paulinho Da Costa; two songs utilize three vocalists, and there is a strong African feel to some of the ensembles.

Reseña por Scott Yanow
La única cita de Jay Hoggard para Contemporary (reeditado como un CD de OJC) fue uno de los mejores sets tempranos del vibrafonista. La música (las seis canciones son originales de Hoggard) cae en el área de hard bop avanzado. El jefe de los sidemen son Chico Freeman (escuchado en el tenor, el soprano y el clarinete bajo), el teclista Kenny Kirkland y el percusionista colorido Paulinho Da Costa; dos canciones utilizan tres vocalistas, y hay un fuerte sentimiento africano en algunos de los conjuntos.
