From the inside cover: Like the three earlier volumes, Provocative Percussion, Vol. 4, is a tremendous exciting listening experience, glistening with the superb performances of such brilliant musicians as Doc Severinsen, trumpet; Stanley Webb and Phil Bodner, the unbelievably versatile woodwind duo; a richly resonant trombone quartet led by Bobby Byrne and including Bob Alexander, Dick Hixon and Chauncey Welch; a rhythm section made up of Moe Wechsler, piano; Tony Mottola, guitar, and Bob Haggart, bass; and an absolutely incredible trio of percussionists – Don Lamond, Bob Rosengarden and Ed Shaughnessy.

From Billboard - March 31, 1962: The succession of three past sets in the "provocative" series has established sales records all over the place, and there is no reason for this newest edition to stray from that pattern. The sound, as usual, is brilliant and clean and a treat for old or new fans of the series. Numbers comprise familiar standards like "I Got It Bad," "Solitude" and newer things like "Make Someone Happy." A "sound" gem.
