AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
This CD reissue serves as a perfect introduction to the talents of the underrated saxophonist Lucky Thompson. Heard on four songs apiece on tenor and soprano (he was one of the first bop-oriented soprano players), Thompson plays two standards and six originals in a quartet with pianist Hank Jones, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Connie Kay. The playing time on this straight reissue of an earlier LP is a bit brief (just over 38 minutes), but the quality is quite high. Thompson's soprano solos in particular are quite memorable.
"In a Sentimental Mood" - 5:49 "Fly With the Wind" - 4:01 "Mid-Nite Oil" - 5:08 "Reminiscent" - 4:04 "Mumba Neua" - 4:47 "I Forgot to Remember" - 6:36 "Prey-Loot" - 4:05 "Invitation" - 4:55
