Reception
In his review on AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "Guitarist Joshua Breakstone gained some initial recognition for this recording, his first for a medium-size label (following two sets for the tiny Sonora company). Breakstone welcomes two major players (baritonist Pepper Adams and pianist Kenny Barron) to a bop-oriented program ... There are fine solos all around, particularly from Pepper Adams, who only had eight months left to live. Worth searching for".
