• Few cities of comparable size have produced the extraordinary flowering of talent represented by the eight jazzmen from Memphis heard here.

• Booker Little, Louis Smith (tp), Frank Strozier (as), George Coleman (ts), Phineas Newborn Jr. (p), Calvin Newborn (g), George Joyner (b) & Charles Crosby (d) met for this session in 1959. It was a reunion of hometown boys from the city previously celebrated for its associations with blues composer WC Handy and, fittingly, it produced some memorable music with appeal to both traditionalists and modernists

Reviews

The Jazz Rag - John Martin

Little and Coleman are, of course, brilliant.

Jazz Journal - Brian Morton

It's a period piece, this, but thoroughly enjoyable for what it is.
