The Big 3 (Milt Jackson album)

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "These three masterful players recorded together in many settings during the Pablo years, but only this once as a trio. The colorful repertoire acts as a device for the musicians to construct some brilliant bop-based solos".
