"4 1/2 Stars"
-Los Angeles Times
"...showcases steps toward the brilliant, tempestuous bassist/composer/bandleader's late - 50s / early - '60s masterpieces..."
-Billboard
Don't expect any poetry here, however an extended spoken word narration by actor Mel Stewart does kicks off the album. That's where the vocals begin and end on this instrumental collection. Mingus and his brilliant musicians do the talking here: the Penguin Guide To Jazz calls Clarence Shaw's performance on "New York Sketchbook" "the best trumpet heard on a Mingus album for some time before or since."
