"I HAD HEARD ALMOST NOTHING BY HORACE PARLAN UNTIL LISTENING TO THIS. AFTER A CURSORY LOOK AT THE TRACK LIST, I WASN'T REALLY EXPECTING MUCH. AN ALBUM CONSISTING OF MOSTLY OLD STANDARDS WILL DO THAT TO ME. BUT GETTING TO THE POINT, I LOVED THIS RECORD. SO FAR IN THE 4000 SERIES, THERE HAVE BEEN PIANO TRIO SESSIONS BY BUD POWELL, DUKE PEARSON, AND THE THREE SOUNDS. BUT ON THIS, HIS DEBUT ALBUM, PARLAN PROVES THAT THERE'S A HECK OF A LOT OF VARIETY TO BE HAD IN THAT SIMPLE FORMAT."
""C JAM BLUES" WAS SUCH A REVELATION. I DIDN'T THINK THERE'S BE MUCH LEFT TO DISCOVER IN THAT SIMPLEST OF ELLINGTON'S COMPOSITIONS. (THAT ELLINGTON WROTE A MEMORABLE, MUCH-COVERED TUNE CONSISTING OF ONLY TWO NOTES-G AND C-IS A TESTAMENT TO HIS GENIUS.) PARLAN APPROACHES THIS TUNE WITH THE MUSCULAR AUTHORITY OF AN ORGANIST. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS TUNE COULD ABSOLUTELY DESTROY IN THE WAY IT DOES HERE. WHILE PARLAN POUNDS AWAY, SAM JONES'S BASS THROBS ALONG, GIVING THE TUNE THE BALLS OF A FUNK TUNE STILL TEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE."
"THERE'S A SECTION IN HIS "CJB" SOLO WHERE PARLAN STARTS PLAYING SOME STRIKINGLY SYNCOPATED FIGURES. IT'S SO RHYTHMICALLY WEIRD THAT I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOME SORT OF DIGITAL GLITCH.. BUT OF COURSE, JONES BASS LINE WAS KEEPING IT ALL TOGETHER. PARLAN MEANT TO SOUND LIKE HE WAS HAVING A SEIZURE! WHEN IT ENDED, I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HEAR THIS TUNE AGAIN, WHICH ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS. SUCH AN INCREDIBLY FUN PERFORMANCE. WHO KNOWS, RVG MIGHT HAVE EVEN SMILED AS HE LISTENED IN THE CONTROL ROOM."
