Eugene Chadbourne of Allmusic says "This jazz musician of Sudanese descent [sic] shows up here and there on recording sessions from the '60s, including a stint as a member of Thelonious Monk's combo. He also played oud and took part in a variety of attempts to blend his roots music with jazz, out of which this is one of the most successful".[2] (Abdul-Malik was actually of Caribbean descent.)[3]
