All About Jazz[3]

Allmusic stated "time seems to be stripped away, and the microtonal and pointillistic investigations in collective improvisation embarked upon nearly three decades previously are as current as the next breath. And indeed they are, as there were no rehearsals, no extra or alternate takes, nothing but the music as it happened ... What comes out is an investigation of sound from the inside out, textually, tonally, spatially. Extraordinary".[2] Matthew Miller on All About Jazz stated "Older, wiser and still stunningly in tune with each other, the threesome take up where they left off and the resulting double-disc of music is every bit as riveting as the original".[3]
