Editorial Reviews
...It has never been clearer how the teamwork and power of drummer Dave Tough and bassist Chubby Jackson drove Herman's band to, and sometimes beyond, euphoria....grab this set while it's still available.
JazzTimes (09/01/2001)
The exhilarating sides that made the clarinetist-bandleader's reputation are all here...a dream reissue... - Rating: A-
