Reception

The Allmusic review by Daniel Gioffre awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This record is the kind of album that one would like to hear while enjoying a late-night cigarette on the roof of a Manhattan apartment. Moody, atmospheric, and beautiful".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "Night demonstrated two things: first, that Abercrombie had outgrown the association with Hammer in particular, probably because increasingly he could give those evocative keyboard figures his own spin, using pedals and later, guitar synth; and secondly, that he never sounds entirely easy in the company of a horn player whose main strength is rapid fire changes".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Modern society generally brings better health AND lifespan, and there's a bunch of effort being put into health and life extension research now.
gollark: Lifespan AND possible range of interesting experiences/quality of life.
gollark: Anarchoprimitivism: for when you love dying young of otherwise easily preventable diseases after a "nasty, brutish and short" subsistence-level life with no modern amenities!
gollark: Or, well, not doing repost detection apparently.
gollark: The bot is dead.
