Reception
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos called it "compelling, commanding, well worth a close listen, and a prelude for things to be heard stateside. This may be a difficult recording to acquire, but worth the search".Nastos, M. G,, Allmusic Review accessed February 14, 2014 On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "When listening to Live, it becomes clear that, while the feeling of improvisation, of taking off, of winging it, is very strong, where it is happening is frustratingly unclear".Kopman, B., Nik Bartsch: The Road To Stoa, June 28, 2007
