"Look, you are a jazz fan. You have made it to this page. Rest assured, this is one of the best trio albums you have ever heard. Piano: Sparkling, crisp, perfectly tuned. Guitar: Fluid, restrained, rapid-fire. Bass: The essence of timing and warmth.
Great playing, great recording, great value. Do not dally."
One of my favorite Jazz albums of all time

"My friend Joe gave me the Pablo LP of this recording back in 1977 as we graduated from high school. I was a classically trained pianist and he was trying to turn me on to jazz. He thought this album would be a good start. That turned out to be quite an understatement! This was one of my most favorite LP's, and when it was finally released in CD format I snatched it right up. I will never tire of listening to it. Oscar is definitely one of my idols. His talent is amazing. Thanks, Joe! ;-)"

"Wonderful CD from the wonders of jazz. Hey, that would be a good title for an album. Very mellow. Not exciting. Just mellow."
Wow! One of my favorite jazz albums.

"Every once in a while, I listen to an album and find myself shaking my head, exclaiming "Wow!" aloud, and getting tears in my eyes, the musicality and virtuosity is so outstanding. This is one of those albums, definitely one of my favorite jazz albums ever.
It's striking how Peterson, Pass, and Brown are three of the most virtuosic players of their instruments you'll find anywhere, and they show it on every track on this album, and yet it's almost as though they can read each other's minds as they seamlessly weave together complex, beautiful harmonies and rhythms.
One interesting highlight was hearing Oscar play the organ on some tracks (Blues for Dennis, Sunny, and Eyes of Love). A rare treat!"
