Review by Scott Yanow
Pianist Red Garland's very relaxed, marathon blues solo on the 16-minute "Soul Junction" is the most memorable aspect of this CD reissue. With such soloists as tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and trumpeter Donald Byrd, plus steady support provided by bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor, Garland gets to stretch out on the title cut and four jazz originals, including "Birk's Works" and "Hallelujah." Coltrane is in excellent form, playing several stunning sheets of sound solos.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El solo de blues maratoniano y muy relajado del pianista Red Garland en el tema «Soul Junction», de 16 minutos de duración, es lo más memorable de esta reedición en CD. Con solistas como el saxofonista tenor John Coltrane y el trompetista Donald Byrd, además del apoyo constante del bajista George Joyner y el baterista Art Taylor, Garland se luce en el tema principal y en cuatro temas originales de jazz, entre ellos «Birk's Works» y «Hallelujah». Coltrane está en excelente forma y toca varios solos impresionantes.
