Vibraphonist
Milt Jackson is joined by a top-notch rhythm section (pianist
Cedar Walton, bassist
John Clatyon and drummer
Billy Higgins), a six-piece horn section and a large string section on various selections but, despite the potential distractions and competition,
Bags's vibes are the stars throughout. The music on this CD is mostly standards along with four
Jackson bluish originals and a song apiece from Clayton and
Walton.
Milt Jackson's style has not changed since the 1950s but he has retained his enthusiasm and creativity and remained a potent force in jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
