Ken Dryden of Allmusic said "While neither version of the old nor the updated edition of the Jazztet met with commercial success, the various groups co-led by Art Farmer and Benny Golson always produced memorable recordings". [4]
All compositions by Benny Golson except where noted
Benny Golson is an American bebop/hard bop jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger. He came to prominence with the big bands of Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie, more as a writer than a performer, before launching his solo career. Golson is known for co-founding and co-leading The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer in 1959. From the late 1960s through the 1970s Golson was in demand as an arranger for film and television and thus was less active as a performer, but he and Farmer re-formed the Jazztet in 1982.
