"A feast of exuberant, classic high-quality jazz, a 35-year-old time capsule which still sounds freshly minted and bursting with Peterson panache".

"A more apt heading might be A Time To Burn because that's exactly what Peterson and his quartet do throughout this 12-tune blast of joy. The recording captures Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Dave Young and drummer Martin Drew on the last show of the group's 1987 fall tour ... The pianist is at the height of his musical prowess. The same can be said for guitarist Pass. If listening to the two of them blistering through "Sushi" can't slap a smile on your face, get to the emergency room. While Young and Drew lock the rhythm in a chokehold of swing, Peterson and Pass dance with unlimited imagination across their instruments ... Whew! This is jazz as good as it gets, as the crowd's raucous applause at the end demonstrates".
