In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "David Ware's searching improvisations reward repeated listenings by open-eared listeners."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Passage To Music has something of Ayler's and Sander's Afro-mysticism and constitutes something of a personal initiation".

gollark: There is a *lot* of potatOS. I even skipped some, but there's still a lot.
gollark: It might also be useful to look into moving some common stuff like fetch, fread/fwrite and all that into a big library...
gollark: Oh, come to think of it, it would be cool if potatOS could do P2P update if there's no internet connection somehow. Which is probably one of the things git is designed for. Hmmm.
gollark: I have backups of various older versions of it, too.
gollark: No, there are just a lot of files on pastebin and it's hard to track down all the places potatOS randomly downloads things.
