From the back cover: For more than four years the Bohemian Caverns in Washington, D. C. has provided a steady home for jazz and its faithful supporters. This club is known world wide for its physical layout of sculpturesque beauty and stalactite formations hanging from its ceiling. Said club owner Tony Taylor to his partner Angelo Alvino and myself, "That's why, times when we don't even have a strong act in the room to draw the people, there are a certain amount of individuals who might filter through here anyway, just to see the place". So here we find the very necessary ingredients of the mixture to make jazz – the customer, the atmosphere, and the world's finest performing artists. – Al Clarke - WOOK Radio - Washington, D. C.

From Billboard - October 10, 1964: Here's the exciting performance of the Ramsey Lewis Trio recorded live at the Bohemian Caverns, a jazz country club in Washington, D. C. Jazz fans will flip when they hear the treatment of "Fly Me To The Moon," let alone the medley from "West Side Story." Well recorded performance of an outstanding jazz group.
