Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 4]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow says, "Because most of this material had been recorded just a couple years earlier, these versions of such songs as "This Here," "Bohemia After Dark" and "New Delhi" were unissued until the 1980s. The music remains quite exciting and fresh for, although somewhat overshadowed at the time, this was one of the great jazz groups of the 1960s".[ 4]
