"Something of a jazz superstar collective, the Chartbusters are rooted in Dr. Lonnie Smith's swirling Hammond B-3 and Idris Muhammad's nimble drumming," writes All Music Guide of this 1995 release. "The horn work from Craig Handy, Donald Harrison and Randy Brecker is solid, enjoyable playing, while guitarist David Fiuczynski takes a couple of opportunities to show what he can do." Songs include "Kirk's Works," "Mambo Bounce," "Mating Call," "Jugsville," "Oleo," "Don't Go to Strangers," "Back on the Farm," and "Doxy." "An ad hoc group of some famous names have a go at some evergreens from the Prestige catalog. Besides Tadd Dameron's title track, there is Dolphy's '245', McLean's 'Minor March,' and three Sonny Rollins tunes, as well as dedications to Gene Ammons and Mose Allison…. The major player is Craig Handy, who brings gravitas and elegance alike to his solos and turns in an especially fine soprano statement on '245.' Three Stars."—Penguin Guide
