Oh Yeah Review by Steve Huey

..Oh Yeah often gets downright warped. That's partly because Mingus is freed up to vocalize more often, but it's also due to the presence of mad genius Roland Kirk..It's a shame Kirk only spent three months with the band, because his solo interpretations are such symbiotic reflections of Mingus' intent as a composer. Look no further than "Hog Callin' Blues," a stomping "Haitian Fight Song" descendant where Kirk honks and roars the blues like a man possessed. Mingus' vocal selections radiate the same dementia, whether it's the stream-of-consciousness blues couplets on "Devil Woman," the dark-humored modern-day spiritual "Oh Lord Don't Let Them Drop That Atomic Bomb on Me,"...Oh Yeah is probably the most offbeat Mingus album ever, and that's what makes it so vital.

Late Night Tales: Four Tet is a DJ mix album compiled by Kieran Hebden, who goes by the pseudonym Four Tet. It is part of the Late Night Tales/Another Late Night compilation series.

David Pescheck wrote in a contemporary review for the Guardian:

"...Here, folk-rock and psychedelia rub up against hip-hop, visionary jazz and post-rock, and Terry Riley's early 1960s piece Music for the Gift (part 2), built from multi-track tapes of the trumpeter Chet Baker, proves sampling isn't as recent an innovation as you might think. The centrepiece is the 1973 Joe Henderson/Alice Coltrane collaboration Earth, which unravels hypnotically over 13 riveting minutes and sounds like deliciously woozy alien funk shuffling on with an intoxicatingly sinuous slowness. It's the Four Tet sound-world in microcosm."

The Roland Kirk Quartet Meets the Benny Golson Orchestra is an album by jazz multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk. It was originally released on the Mercury label in November 1963 and contains performances by Kirk's Quartet and Benny Golson's Orchestra.

The reviewer for Cash Box noted that their playing together "proves to be worthy and natural as the two come up with some first-rate jazz blending."
