“Earl Bostic didn’t have a chance to venture outside the honking R&B sphere often, and when he did he usually displayed the skills that were more evident in live performance. While this wasn’t the kind of hard-edged playing many assume is the only way to play jazz, Bostic’s fluid, relaxed, expressive alto solos show that he could play jazz as well as anything else.” – Ron Wynn/AllMusic.
