"Bags' Groove" would go on to become one of the MJQ's signature songs, and it's not the only one here that remained in their setlist for decades. Originally released in 1957, this 1975 stereo pressing sounds good, with ample low end, clearly defined stereo separation, and an intimate, atmospheric soundstage. My copy plays nice and clean with virtually no surface noise, aside from a tic that persists for about four or five revolutions during the opening medley.

Milt Jackson is incredible on the vibraphone and this album showcases some great stuff from Milt. Nice piano and bass along the way but Milt carries it in IMO- thanks!

Can't find a recording date . Nothing on the sleeve or Wiki.

the inner sleeve tends to place this release around 1967/8
