Professional Reviews

Down Beat (3/96, p.44) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...the level of inventive musicianship...is magnificent....an ancient bandleader who sounds just as vital as ever. The level of precision that accompanies the band's improvising, and overall ensemble unity, is striking. There are plenty of hip solos here....The grooves...are always loaded with intriguing tidbits..."
