Reception

[edit]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "The David Murray big band, which can be undisciplined and even a bit out of control, is never dull. This generally brilliant effort has quite a few highpoints... easily recommended to listeners with open ears."[1]
