AllMusic[2]

In his review for AllMusic, Phil Freeman notes that "The interactions between the three members of the trio are deeply sensitive. In contrast with Parker and Cleaver's work backing Matthew Shipp on several records from the first half of the 2000s, their playing behind Taborn is less about convulsive rhythm than about atmospheric effects."[2]

In his review for JazzTimes Mike Shanley notes that "While the album runs in circles in a few spots, the trio wins points for showing how spare moments can have just as much merit as the wilder sections of improvisation."[3]

Personnel
gollark: i.e. imagine you have some documents which say "bee" lots, and some which say "apio" lots, and you want to look up ones with "apio" and "bee", *without* just retrieving all the documents for each and computing the intersection.
gollark: So I know approximately how inverted index things work, but HOW the APIO FORM do you efficiently do intersectiony queries on them?
gollark: Does anyone know how I can efficiently search engine?
gollark: HTML rendering.
gollark: I don't believe any existing ones do it.
