Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "As is often true of a Lester Bowie record, this set has surprising moments and a liberal use of absurd humor, along with some fine playing... A fine introduction to Lester Bowie's diverse music".[1]

gollark: Because ECC is slow in CC, by the way, there's a 0.5 second delay before you get a response back from the clients of the notswarm.
