AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "T.S. Monk, by successfully keeping his sextet together as a regularly working outfit for several years, has been able to form a recognizable group sound in the hard bop tradition ... has no weak links and is one of the most consistently satisfying jazz groups from the mid-'90s. Their fine disc is easily recommended".[2]

gollark: Communism is poorly defined too.
gollark: Star Trek doesn't have much of a coherent or sane economic system.
gollark: I said "not".
gollark: - I think automation is generally good as it could/should lead to less work generally or more intellectual/interesting jobs- people are not sure about whether there will be/are people who can't find work given increasing automation- if there are then it appears as if there are not functional systems in place to cope with it
