Review by Scott Yanow
Jimmy McGriff's Milestone debut, which has been reissued on CD, features the soulful organist heading a group of lesser-known players -- including three horns and the fine guitarist Melvin Sparks -- and doing his best to emulate the sound of a big band. The material ("I'm Walkin'," a couple of Frank Foster numbers including "Shiny Stockings," Benny Green's "Blow Your Horn," "Since I Fell for You" and a McGriff original) is strong and inspires the musicians to play funky, grease-filled solos. Few surprises occur, but the music is quite enjoyable and easily recommended to fans of this genre.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El debut de Jimmy McGriff en Milestone, que ha sido reeditado en CD, presenta al conmovedor organista al frente de un grupo de músicos menos conocidos -incluyendo tres trompas y el excelente guitarrista Melvin Sparks- y haciendo todo lo posible por emular el sonido de una gran banda. El material ("I'm Walkin'", un par de números de Frank Foster incluyendo "Shiny Stockings", "Blow Your Horn" de Benny Green, "Since I Fell for You" y un original de McGriff) es fuerte e inspira a los músicos a tocar solos funky y llenos de grasa. Hay pocas sorpresas, pero la música es bastante agradable y fácilmente recomendable para los aficionados a este género.
