These musicians were the first lineup of The Jazz Messengers, with Farmer instead of Kenny Dorham.[citation needed]
The album was remastered in 2008 by Rudy Van Gelder and issued on CD.
The AllMusic review by Steve Leggett states, "Mobley might not have been out there pushing the envelope with his instrument, but here he plays with confidence and lyrical economy, making this easily one of his best outings."[2]
