Review by Scott Yanow
Tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet is heard in top form throughout this quintet set with pianist Wynton Kelly, guitarist Tiny Grimes, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Oliver Jackson. The music, which falls between swing, bop and early R&B, is generally quite exciting, especially "Still King," "Every Day I Have the Blues," and the lengthy title cut. A particular surprise is a moody version of "'Round Midnight," which features some surprisingly effective bassoon by Jacquet. Highly recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El saxofonista tenor Illinois Jacquet se escucha en plena forma a lo largo de este quinteto con el pianista Wynton Kelly, el guitarrista Tiny Grimes, el bajista Buster Williams y el baterista Oliver Jackson. La música, que se encuentra entre el swing, el bop y el R&B temprano, es en general bastante emocionante, especialmente "Still King", "Every Day I Have the Blues" y el largo corte del título. Una sorpresa particular es una versión temperamental de "'Round Midnight", que presenta un fagot sorprendentemente efectivo de Jacquet. Muy recomendable.
