"Blakey and Monk go together perfectly. The melodic playing of Blakey, the percussive playing of Monk, the soulful funkiness of Johnny Griffin, they're all working on the same bebop wavelength--high energy music, but with so much space and silence left in.

"Magnificent jazz from start to finish on this one. With the possible exception of Coltrane, this is proably my favorite tenor album of all time. The ensemble, while not household names, fit perfectly as well."  Reply
