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: I mean, they can minify stuff, but compacting the logic into pure pointlessness is harder.
gollark: Okay, they probably can, but not what hydraz is using.
gollark: Machines just can't beat humans at making compact, unreadable code.
gollark: Mine is still more compact.
gollark: I prefer my version, it's terser and loses those ugly "points".
