Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "George Braith turned in his strongest record with Extension. Largely freed from the restraints of the dueling horns, Braith is able to explore the outer reaches of his music. He still remains grounded in soul-jazz -- any guitar-organ combo is bound to have soul-jazz roots -- but he pushes the music toward adventurous hard bop, often with rewarding results".[2]

gollark: > anyway, free speech as i understand is just your right to speak out against the government, not to just spout random bullshitNo, not really. I mean, as a legal principle yes.
gollark: > free speech is saying "proof ?" to "hitler did nothing wrong" and not "no u", free speech has pros and consNo, free speech is just not silencing people who disagree with you, or who you disagree with.
gollark: Someone must run the bot, and a bot cannot be owner directly.
