The Penguin Guide to Jazz |
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This is a fascinating and very listening disc of solo improvisations, one that is likely never to find a wide enough audience for its brilliant accomplishment on tenor saxophone."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the results of his first full programme of tenor playing as "extraordinary, music of intense focus and a fearsome weight and intensity of tone."[3]
