Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

The AllMusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating, "The jumping tunes are given concise performances (six songs are under three minutes long and none are longer than 4:10), but the musicians take advantage of every second they have on this rather brief album. ...this is a notable obscurity from some of jazz's all-time greats".[3]
