Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Movements in Colour is a wonderfully breezy, airy, but very sophisticated recording that places an unusual instrument (the tabla) at the center of a jazz group that defies expectations and delivers something new yet familiar; this set is both well-conceived, and more importantly, well-executed".[3] Duncan Heining in his review for Jazzwise stated, "...they share a profound and uplifting grasp of the power of colour and that is certainly a word I would have to use in respect of Sheppard’s music. Here it shows in the way these five musicians combine to kaleidoscopic effect that matters most rather than their solo contributions. The impression throughout is of serving the music. "[4]

Personnel
gollark: Actually, there would be an RSS feed but it would only contain individual characters.
gollark: XML is *basically* just RSS but not RSS.
gollark: Maybe I should reorder the privacy policy and add more sensible bits at the start so it looks like it's slowly degenerating into insanity.
gollark: It probably *would* enhance the sense of confusion if there was a link at the start saying "view in alternative formats: HTML, JSON, SQLite3, XML, XHTML, TOML, base2048, brotli, Rust".
gollark: Yes, that is the correct way.
