"Jim Hall, a vital member of the Jimmy Giuffre 3, makes his debut as a group leader here, and a handsome one it is. The collection, as Giuffre states in the notes, is loose and easy, with an 'old blues' feeling. Jim is a sensitive and talented guitarist. His respect for the 'old blues' feel comes through on Duke's Things Ain't What They Used T0 Be'. Perkins comes through as a pulsing pianist, often exciting on his solo spots. Mitchell remains one of the consistently fne bassists on the scene. The group achieves a quiet, almost subdued feeling throughout. Hall's comping behind the other soloists is always tasty and interesting. Listen to Things Ain't What They Used T0 Be' for the Hallmark of the group." - **** Dom Cerull, DownBeat
