Reviews:
“Communications have so speeded up the process of cultural assimilation in the Western world in the last 20 years that artists such as Roy and Illinois, who, if they had lived in, say, the 18th century, would have spent their entire life spans perfecting their style and getting their message disseminated. Now they find themselves, on the verge of middle age, sort of musical anachronisms.
There is nothing whatsoever wrong with what they play, it is every bit as good as it was when their initial appearance made such an impression. They are every bit the musicians they were 10 years ago, and yet what they have to say no longer seems to have any relevance. It is tragic. They are left stranded on a plateau which they reached when it was important to get there. But now the main stream of history has gone on by, and they are talking in the language of another era to an ever-diminishing audience.
It is good to hear them. Nostalgic, warm-feeling, and evocative of the good old days. But it is impossible to escape the conclusion that they have made their contribution, and unless they manage to grow and develop and keep in touch with the pulse of the times, they will remain without an audience, though not without fans.
This album offers excellent romantic tenor by Illinois, on Nocturne and Miss Jones (there is a gorgeous typo in the notes on this indicating that Granzville needs a proofreader), and Roy, on Achtung brings back memories of Swing is Here. This is a further indication of the appropriateness of the above remarks.” Down Beat Review by Ralph J. Gleason
