The record
Horns stack up thick behind Jackson here -- Adderley, Foster, Silver and two rhythm teams sharing the load -- as he steps outside the MJQ's chamber quiet for something broader and hotter.

Contemporary reception
The pressing is vibraharpist Milt Jackson’s second sessions for Atlantic and programs worthy examples of the artist’s skillful command of swing, blues and ballad expressions. One side features Jackson as part of a nine-man combo (Jimmy Cleveland, trombone; Percy Heath, bass; Joe Newman, trumpet), the other in a sextet format (Horace Silver, piano and Newman are carried over from the flip side). Quincy Jones’ arrangements keeps things always eventful, Jackson wrote four of the seven selections. Excellent jazz issue.
