Eigenlijk staan deze sessies niet op naam van Coltrane, maar op die van trompettist Wilbur Harden. Deze verdween, al vrij snel na deze opnamen, compleet van de radar en bleef obscuur. Niet gek dus dat ze onder Coltrane's naam op CD verschijnen. "Although Harden is a competent player on both trumpet and flugelhorn, his compositions aren't particularly memorable, although they are enjoyable. The primary reason people have sought this music is to plug a gap in their John Coltrane collections. The consistently strong playing of John Coltrane is what makes this set worth acquiring." (Ken Dryden, Allmusic)
