"When you look at the lineup (Coltrane, Garland, Chamber, Jones) for this album. it is not a miracle that the album is an excellent work of art and deservedly belongs to the shelves of any jazz buff. Both sax men compliment each other so well. RECOMMEDED listen" Reply

"Relaxing album of fine guitar work. Fusing folk and blues in its own unique way, though nothing here is a classic. 8.5/10" Reply
