The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos called it "compelling, commanding, well worth a close listen, and a prelude for things to be heard stateside. This may be a difficult recording to acquire, but worth the search".[2] On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "When listening to Live, it becomes clear that, while the feeling of improvisation, of taking off, of winging it, is very strong, where it is happening is frustratingly unclear".[3]

Personnel
gollark: I think there are significantly larger issues than climate change going on anyway. Such as, how do you make governance actually work well? If you can solve that many of the other things follow.
gollark: I mean, if it's profitable it would happen, but it doesn't seem to be since renewables are pushed harder and there's tons of bad nuclear regulation.
gollark: Overpopulation seems very overrated as a problem.
gollark: It's annoying about how I regularly read about exciting new battery tech which never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: Why do you need batteries for nuclear power/mining of uranium?
