Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow): Trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison was 74 at the time of this live set, but he still sounds in pretty good form. He is teamed with fellow Basie veterans Buddy Tate, who splits his time almost evenly between tenor and clarinet, and tenor saxophonist Frank Wess, while the rhythm section swings in a Basie vein. The sextet plays five veteran standards and two original blues, Edison's familiar "Centerpiece" and Tate's "Blue Creek".

El sexteto interpreta cinco standards y dos blues originales, el conocido "Centerpiece" de Edison y "Blue Creek" de Tate.
