Milt Jackson and Ray Brown in a rare appearance with Stanley Turrentine, Cedar Walton and Mickey Roker. This is - in accordance with the title of this mono capture - undisputed "Real Jazz", with a self-evident yet never cliched sound. The musicians are at the center of their expression, resulting in energetic joyfulness, and that little special bonus which often goes missed in the studio.

The members of this quintet are all developers of that direction in jazz which has the true swing, blend and sound of the blues.
