Reviews :
"Two of guitarist Kenny Burrell's best sessions from the 1950s were this release and its companion, All Day Long. Burrell is teamed with an impressive group of young all-stars, including trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, Jerome Richardson on flute and tenor, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor. In addition to the lengthy "All Night Long" and three group originals (two by Mobley and one from Waldron), the original LP program has been augmented by a medley of "Body and Soul" and "Tune Up" from the same session. Jam sessions such as this one are only as good as the solos; fortunately, all of the musicians sound quite inspired, making this an easily recommended set." AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
"...they attempt to be as faithful to the original LPs as possible. They are remastered from the original mono or stereo tapes, come in authentic glossy 'tip-on' jackets, retain the flat edge of original pressings, and even have the 'deep groove' from the stamper in the label area. What they don't have is the cost of original pressings. So many of the titles in the series fall into the several-hundred-dollar range in near-mint condition, a few topping out in the thousands, making the $30 price of each Analogue Productions LP seem like a bargain if they deliver sonically, which they do in abundance. ... both (this title and Coltrane were pressed at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and continue the excellence for which this newest pressing plant has become known: nonexistent surface and groove noise and the sharp delineation of musical detail. ... with these latest Prestige LPs, Analogue Productions has attained a rare trifecta: authentic look, authentic sound, and authentic manufacturing." Marc Mickelson, The Audio Beat, Feb. 12, 2013.
"The mono sound is pure of tone and wonderfully balanced, which adds to the sense of camaraderie that permeates this session." The Absolute Sound, January 2013
"Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in glorious mono in his parents' Hackensack New Jersey living room, the sound is excellent ... Analogue Productions and Kevin Gray have done a fine job in remastering the tapes, and the packaging is gorgeous." Dennis D. Davis, Hi-Fi +, Issue 92
