Reception

edit

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "the generally introspective music develops slowly and the occasional fiery moments are outnumbered by the quiet spots. A close listen does reveal some fine playing but most jazz collectors will probably think of this set as being superior background music."[2]
