In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "While Wright is the leader of the ensemble and was capable of blowing the hell out of his horn, the true star on these sessions is Few, who joined Steve Lacy's Sextet upon departure from this group."[1]

gollark: They probably run on anomalous physics somehow. SCP-5128 and all.
gollark: Maybe SRAs are the *real* SCP-2950.
gollark: Also, Prometheus Labs best GoI.
gollark: Some people say they're a Prometheus Labs product, others say they're some weird SCP where their inventor was wiped out by a temporal change but the SRAs kept existing, some say they were invented in the 1800s, some in the 1900s or early 2000s, and some say they run on enslaved reality benders.
gollark: Also, I'm not sure we should trust them when nobody even knows exactly when or where they were made?
