The instinctive give-and-take of the players is breathtaking. Evans’ light touch on “Goodbye” is contrasted by Adderley’s alto sax; the latter is considerably louder in the mixand like everything else on this album, we can safely assume that is no accident. […]

PopMatters
Of course, it wasn’t really that ideal, with “moldy figs” in bitter arguments with modernists, for example. But still, a music world in which the likes of Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley were getting together to create music this effortless and fluid is easy to dream about in fantastic ways. […]
