Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The music performed... is very freely improvised, includes 'little instruments' for their variety in sound, and contrasts high-energy playing with space... and is far from accessible but is generally worth the struggle".Yanow, S. [ AllMusic Review] accessed 6 July 2009
