"... it’s wonderful to hear Drew, Mobley, and Hubbard sounding fuller and sharper. There’s a warmth to the remaster that I don’t hear on the original issue, with the improved clarity allowing for a new appreciation for the playing."
- Audiophile Audition
"... a strong outing by the gifted pianist, composer and session leader ... his job is greatly facilitated by a frontline of saxophonist Hank Mobley and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard ... deserves a place alongside more heralded recordings during a truly golden age in the music."
- All About Jazz
Recorded in late 1960, Kenny Drew's seventh recording as a leader is significant for many reasons, not the least of which that it is one of the finest Blue Note hard bop statements in either of their catalogues. Teamed with rising young star trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and the wonderful tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley fresh off stints with Donald Byrd and Art Blakey, Drew joined the ranks of the premier mainstream jazz pianists just prior to moving permanently to Europe. He's a complementary piece of the puzzle as a player, but stirs the drink as the composer of all of these very fine hard bop vehicles.
