The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden states:"In spite of their very long careers in jazz,brothers Hank,Thad and Elvin Jones made relatively few recordings together;this Leonard Feather-produced date got the three of them into the studio and added to the gimmick by including Eddie Jones (no relation) on bass,and performing exclusively works by Thad or Isham Jones (also no relation). ... Thad's rich flugelhorn is as strong as on any date he ever recorded,while Hank's playing is a little more reserved than usual,and Elvin,known for his fierce attack,sticks mainly to brushes". [4]
All compositions by Thad Jones except where noted
Thaddeus Joseph Jones was an American jazz trumpeter,composer,and bandleader who has been called "one of the all-time greatest jazz trumpet soloists".
