Review:
Vibraphonist Milt Jackson has been so consistent throughout his lenghty career that his excellence can be taken for granted. This Impulse recording features Bags with a quartet (including pianist Hank Jones) from 1961 and leading a quintet (with tenor-saxophonist Jimmy Heath and pianist Tommy Flanagan) in 1964; the latter was originally half of the album Jazz 'N' Samba. In addition there is a feature for Flanagan in a trio without the vibraphonist that was originally on an Impulse sampler. The blues, ballads, standards and originals are typical of Jackson's recordings as is the high-quality of the swinging music. Nothing too unusual occurs but the results are pleasing.

Review 2:
Along side Lionel Hampton and Red Norvo, Milt Jackson stands as the defining personality for the vibraphone in jazz. Statements was recording in 1961 during the middle of his twenty year tenure with the now legendary Modern Jazz Quartet. Hank Jones, who played piano on the session said, "The biggest thing about Milt is his feeling. He gets more emotional mileage out of a melody than any other vibist. Others may feel a song as deeply as he does, but he somehow can express more emotion. It's fantastic what he can make out of the most simple line."
Connie Kay, Milt's drummer-bandmate from the Modern Jazz Quartet, joined the session as well as bassist Paul Chambers. The resulting tracks were considered to be some of Milt's best as evidenced by the easy-going, free spirited performances heard throughout. Jones later commented on the success of the session, "I've never seen Bags [Milt's nickname], so relaxed."
