Al Campbell of Allmusic stated: "Tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin joined alto and soprano saxophonist Pony Poindexter in 1963 on Gumbo, based around the sights and sounds of Poindexter's birthplace, the Crescent City.

Tonight at Noon is an album of music by the jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus. It was released through Atlantic Records in July 1964. It compiles tracks recorded at two sessions – the 1957 sessions for the album entitled The Clown and the 1961 sessions for Oh Yeah.

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "While the former session features Mingus going for the blues via European harmonics and melodic approaches with hard bop tempos (particularly on the title track), the latter session with its nocturnal elegance and spatial irregularities comes off more as some kind of exercise in vanguard Ellington with sophisticated harmonies that give way to languid marches and gospel-tinged blues... Despite the fact that this is an assembled album, it holds plenty of magic nonetheless"

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.

Horace Parlan - Up & Down

Pretty stellar combo with Parlan on piano, Booker Ervin on sax, Grant Green on guitar, George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums.

Always a little amusing to have a van Gelder engineered piece with a piano-led group…where everything sounds great BUT that. Comes with the territory…
