Don't waste your money!

"The music on this session is lovely, Marsh and the guitarist Don Overburg play great counterpoint, and the rythym section of Carson Smith on bass and Frank Severino on drums are solid. Unfortunately it sounds as if the recording was made with a dictaphone machine parked under the drummer's cymbal, and now and then the drummer would kick the dictaphone, and someone would play with the tone controls, or fade the volume all the way down. It is unlistenable. The fact that it is being offered for sale borders on being criminal. 1 star is too many, -10 would work."

Interesting Archival Document

"This is definitely bootleg quality, no if's and's or but's about it. Knowing that, though, I would say that this is an interesting and worthwhile historical document of one night in Vegas nearly 50 years ago. If you have a high tolerance for anthropological recording, there is a lot to be gleaned from this murky gem."
