Vibraphonist Khan Jamal's "Peace Warrior" was originally released on the Stash label in 1989 under the title "Don't Take No!" As jazz writer Scott Yanow says: "At the time that he recorded the music on this CD in 1989 (with the last three numbers from 1982), the 43-year old Jamal was at the peak of his creative powers. Although he was off records during the first half of the 1990s, Khan Jamal was active in the Philadelphia area, and his recent recordings show that he has retained both his musical skills and his highly individual style up to the present time. 'Peace Warrior' remains one of his finest recordings."
