Editorial Reviews 3 stars out of 5 - ...The solos are terse and to the point....[a] fascinating outing... Down Beat (09/01/2000)
...A well rounded picture of his compositional tendencies: the juxtaposition of atonal materials with sinewy grooves, the extrapolation of a single massive chord, the retooling of traditional jazz orchestration techniques....exciting music... The Wire (08/01/2000)
...Another important album from a still-hale jazz giant. CMJ (06/05/2000)
