Editorial Reviews

One of arranger Sammy Nestico's most enjoyable sessions for Count Basie, these eight selections (six composed by Nestico, including the title cut and "Ya Gotta Try") are performed by an inspired Basie orchestra. Tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Forrest and trombonist Al Grey star among the soloists. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
