The album was remastered by Rudy Van Gelder in 2003 and released as part of Blue Note's RVG Edition series.

However, the actual pianist used was Bud Powell, who would not play new music, so jazz standards were chosen during the rehearsal.

The two tracks added to the CD release were originally issued by Blue Note on Bud Powell's Alternate Takes in 1985.

[8] The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave it a maximum four-star rating and added it to the core collection, commenting that Gordon's playing on "A Night in Tunisia" "is one of his finest performances on record" and concluding that the album is "a classic".

[4] Marc Davis, writing for All About Jazz, described Gordon's playing on the opening track as "on fire" and Powell's as "sublime".
