The Down Beat review by John Corbett notes "It’s a pleasure to hear Tim Berne’s alto saxophone sounding wonderful in tandem with Laubrock and trombonist Ben Gerstein."[1]

The All About Jazz review by Karl Ackermann states "Ubatuba is an ambitious creation in terms of Laubrock's astoundingly complex writing and in the masterful musicianship from all involved."[2]

In a review for JazzTimes Britt Robson says about Laubrock "Her work in Paradoxical Frog and Anti-House marked her as a force to be reckoned with. Ubatuba ratifies that reputation with unique, tactile music that pricks the senses as much as it piques the intellect."[3]

Personnel

gollark: You could probably put it on a USB stick and install it from that somehow.
gollark: But if you don't constantly have an internet connection to verify your license, you might use it with an expired subscription or something, which is pure evil and must be avoided at all costs.
gollark: Yay "cloud"!
gollark: For phones it does make sense because generally *smart*phones do more than just call people, and having more screen space for general-purpose inputs and stuff is useful. For ship controls, you should probably have, if you're not going to have regular fixed-function inputs, at least the slightly reliable mouse/keyboard combination most things use.
gollark: This is just... trendiness?
