Milt Jackson chronology

Olinga is an album by vibraphonist Milt Jackson recorded in 1974 and released on the CTI label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "this set features vibraphonist Milt Jackson with some of his favorite musicians... The performances are pretty straight-ahead for CTI... Although Cedar Walton does not sound as formidable on electric piano as on acoustic and the other solos overall are a bit safe, this is a nice album".^[2]
