Reception
The All About Jazz review by Clifford Allen states "In an age where all-star lineups, unique projects and sideman gigs are extraordinarily common, it's refreshing (if not downright jaw-dropping) to see a band that lasted nearly twenty years playing this music. Live in Vilnius is a fitting document to close out their run, and while not any more or less a jewel than the other 17 releases, it's an excellent final chapter."[2]
