Reception


The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide called it' "an inspired mixture of originals and standards", giving it five stars.[2] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "For David Murray, this is a fairly straightforward quartet date. Joined by pianist John Hicks, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Ed Blackwell, Murray performs three of his lesser-known originals, Butch Morris' 'Light Blue Frolic,' 'Body and Soul' and 'Jitterbug Waltz.' Doubling on tenor and bass clarinet, Murray as usual has a tendency to jump into the extreme upper register a bit too much at unexpected times, disrupting a relatively mellow mood on a few occasions. But one cannot deny his musicianship, and there are some exciting moments to be heard during this program."[3]
