"The roster is impressive, covering most of the modern greats and near-greats. The Miles sides are superb. The writing is imaginative, tinged with the languid air of Gil Evans at his most soulful, and yet with something more." - Dom Cerulli

Down Beat, 1958 on 'Ascenseur pour l'echafaud': "An absolutely fascinating release. Some of the very best, if not the best, Miles's solos are contained on this LP." - Ralph J. Gleason
