Reception
The All About Jazz review by Andrey Henkin states "Is there is a Chicago aesthetic? .. If there is something in common, it is an ability to maintain momentum through a liberal mixture of long and short tones, the blues and squeaky European avant-gardisms, through-composition and lots of tightly executed starts and stops, zigs and zags."[2]
In another review for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto says "Influences from rock to free jazz and small big bands make up this four-way collaboration of very talented musicians. Well worth your listen and admiration."[3]
