Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Horace Parlan had a gift for relaxed, swinging hard bop which placed his piano in a central, yet unassuming role. Speakin' My Piece is one of the first albums to find Parlan getting all the ingredients right, from his own subtle playing to soliciting fine contributions of his backing band. Stanley Turrentine, in fact, turns out to be an excellent complement to Parlan, playing in a similarly tasteful style. Five of the six numbers are band originals, and each number is quite similar -- bluesy, gently swinging hard bop. No one pushes too hard on Speakin' My Piece, preferring to create an intimate atmosphere with milder numbers and performances. Such an approach gives each muscian -- Parlan, Turrentine, bassist George Tucker, drummer Al Harewood -- a chance to shine with lyrical, melodic solos and/or sympathetic support, resulting in a charmingly low-key session.

Reseña de Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Horace Parlan tenía un don para el bop duro y relajado que colocaba su piano en un papel central, pero modesto. Speakin ' My Piece es uno de los primeros álbumes en encontrar a Parlan obteniendo todos los ingredientes correctos, desde su propia interpretación sutil hasta la solicitud de excelentes contribuciones de su banda de acompañamiento. Stanley Turrentine, de hecho, resulta ser un excelente complemento para Parlan, jugando en un estilo de buen gusto similar. Cinco de los seis números son originales de la banda , y cada número es bastante similar: blues, balanceándose suavemente. Nadie presiona demasiado para hablar Mi Pieza, prefiriendo crear una atmósfera íntima con números y actuaciones más suaves. Tal enfoque le da a cada músico-Parlan, Turrentine, el bajista George Tucker , el baterista Al Harewood-la oportunidad de brillar con solos líricos, melódicos y/o apoyo comprensivo, lo que resulta en una sesión encantadoramente discreta.
