All Music Guide: "This album was Maynard Ferguson's strongest jazz album in quite a few years. Utilizing a small big band comprised of 12 pieces, Ferguson is in consistently fiery form during a session recorded live from the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. "Bebop Buffet" (which has quotes from many bop classics) is a highpoint and these versions of "Lush Life" and "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (along with four group originals) are quite enjoyable; baritonist Denis DiBlasio's arrangements are a major asset."

Great blog from first to most recent post. This one unfortunetly has defective files. Unless I screwed up somehow tracks 5,6,7 aren't there. #5 is in the file but won't extract.
