Jazz piacevole e godibile, ma discontinuo negli esiti e con qualche caduta di gusto. Si potrebbe sintetizzare così la più recente produzione discografica del pur eccellente batterista Matt Wilson: solista notevole ma arrangiatore non molto fantasioso.

by Robert Spencer
July 1, 1999

Three improvisers with long resumes and magnificent virtuosity. Themeless improvised music that highlights the abilities of each musician to interact with his fellows and create a seamless whole of spontaneous composition.
