Organist Jimmy McGriff's second Milestone recording is his only one for the label that has not yet been reissued on CD. Heard with a nonet on three numbers, a quintet on two songs, and an 11-piece outfit during his "Skywalk," McGriff is in his usual fine form on such tunes as "Jersey Bounce" and "Let's Stay Together." Outside of altoist Bill Easley and guitarist Jimmy Ponder, the sidemen are pretty obscure, although quite capable in this setting. ---Scott Yanow, allmusic.com
