Press reviews

"This decently recorded live session features tenor saxophonist Wardell Gray, trumpeter Art Farmer, pianist Hampton Hawes, bassist Joe Mondragon and drummer Shelly Manne stretching out on eight numbers (most of which clock in at 7-10 minutes). The CD reissue is highlighted by "The Squirrel," "Jackie," "Donna Lee" and "Get Happy."
