"On this CD reissue are all of the contents of a former two-LP set. Trumpeter Fats Navarro is featured on ten of the thirteen selections with pianist-arranger Tadd Dameron's Orchestra; the other three songs have trombonist Kai Winding in his place. With tenor saxophonist Allan Eager and (on six of the numbers) altoist Rudy Williams as the other key soloists, the boppish music is quite enjoyable. The recording quality of the live performances is decent for the time and the material (all but five are Dameron originals) is consistently of high quality. This valuable CD is easily recommended for bop collectors as is virtually every record that Fats Navarro made in his brief life." (AllMusic, by Scott Yanow)
"If you are familiar with Narvarro's playing circa 1948, and especially with both Dameron and Clarke, you have a general sense of what the music is all about. This is live Navarro with a killer rhythm section. The sound quality is more than respectable considering these recordings are from broadcasts, and made using nearly seventy year old equipment and methods. (Amazon).
