Ahmad Jamal was never as distinctive on electric piano as he was on the acoustic counterpart, making this two-LP set, Digital Works, (which finds him doubling) a slight disappointment. Jamal does play well throughout, engaging his sidemen (bassist Larry Ball, drummer Herlin Riley, and percussionist Iraj Lashkaryl) in close interplay, but no new revelations occur on such remakes as "But Not for Me," "Wave" and Jamal's greatest hit, "Poinciana." Good music overall, but not essential. ~Scott Yanow  https://www.allmusic.com/album/digital-works-mw0000188321

"Klaus Doldinger is the only European jazz musician I know who has always been able to use the diverse elements in jazz as a means of self-expression.Our ways crossed in 1962 when Klaus went professional with his quartet, then being voted Germany’s best tenor player in modern jazz - and best clarinet player in traditional jazz. I was the label manager for Jazz at Philips Records at the time and would not rest before getting the chance to record Klaus’ new band. At the age of 22 I became his producer and recorded him for over a decade. Our friendship has never ended. This "Bluesy Collection" is my view of "Doldingers Best" from that period. The music reflects his deep understanding of jazz and blues and his ability to play Rhythm & Blues like no other European tenor saxophone player." (Siegfried Loch)
