Review by Scott Yanow
This album gave Frank Wess (doubling on tenor and flute) his first opportunity to record with an organ, and he is in top form on this trio outing with organist Bobby Forrester and drummer Clarence "Tootsie" Bean. Burners alternate with warm ballads and Wess (whether on his tough tenor or fluid flute) matches very well with ForresThister's light, pre-Jimmy Smith organ style. In fact, this session swings so naturally that it could have been recorded in 1958. The ten superior standards are all given very favorable treatments, making this a highly recommended outing.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este álbum le dio a Frank Wess (doblando en tenor y flauta) su primera oportunidad de grabar con un órgano, y está en plena forma en esta salida en trío con el organista Bobby Forrester y el baterista Clarence "Tootsie" Bean. Los fogones se alternan con baladas cálidas y Wess (ya sea en su duro tenor o en su fluida flauta) combina muy bien con el ligero estilo de órgano de ForresThister, anterior a Jimmy Smith. De hecho, esta sesión se balancea tan naturalmente que podría haber sido grabada en 1958. Los diez estándares superiores reciben tratamientos muy favorables, lo que hace que sea una salida muy recomendada.
