Reception

The All About Jazz review by Andrey Henkin states "Is there is a Chicago aesthetic? .. If there is something in common, it is an ability to maintain momentum through a liberal mixture of long and short tones, the blues and squeaky European avant-gardisms, through-composition and lots of tightly executed starts and stops, zigs and zags."[2]

In another review for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto says "Influences from rock to free jazz and small big bands make up this four-way collaboration of very talented musicians. Well worth your listen and admiration."[3]

Personnel
gollark: (it doesn't upload them to the server yet)
gollark: So I managed to make accursed JSoforms to allow people to select some files from the local device by clicking buttons. Highly advanced technology, yes.
gollark: Wow, this file upload thing is getting increasingly convoluted.
gollark: Excitingly, we get to see how well all people ever* guessed code in -6.5 minutes!
gollark: Who is "et al" and how are they such a prolific contributor to things?
