The Magic Touch (album)

In his DownBeat magazine review, critic John S. Wilson awarded the album three stars and wrote: "Although Dameron's arrangements are, for the most part, designed as settings for soloists, neither the soloists nor the arrangements generate much interest." By contrast, AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars, concluding: "As close to a definitive recording as Dameron issued, and considering his very small discography, The Magic Touch is a recording that all modern jazz lovers need to own and take further lessons from." == Track listing ==
