Reviews5 Stars - Excellent - "...It's hard to imagine a more important reissue for this year or any other...Here is the old testament of the first Basie band (1937-1939)...never has completeness been so completely satisfying...these sides travel effortlessly across time on the wings of an astounding rhythm section...", "...Here's the root of all that is good in American music...this music defined swing, as the soloists--Harry "Sweets" Edison, Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Basie, Herschel Evans and Jimmy Rushing--defined their individual instruments...", Picked by Critic Leonard Feather As One of the 10 Best Jazz Albums of 1992.
