Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2 stars stating "This CD is a bit of a mixed bag. The great tenor David Murray is joined by pianist John Hicks, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Idris Muhammad and is heard at his best on two relatively straight-ahead pieces, "Luminous" and "Off Season." But Branford Marsalis guests on two other selections, and those are much more erratic, with rambling solos by the two tenors and a lot of aimless high energy. Wrapping up this set are a calypso and the lightweight "Intuitively," making the net results less than one might hope.".[1]

Personnel
gollark: We *will* destroy all plants.
gollark: Orbital nature lasers are already warming up.
gollark: And this seems too vaguely defined to be useful if you can just handwave any issue which does not in fact run on something like "balance" as being caused by some other imbalance.
gollark: Actually, no, they're partly just background radiation. Nobody is particularly responsible for this, on the majority of Earth.
gollark: By some unreasonably stretched definitions, maybe.
