Reception
The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer notes "Håker Flaten often favors probing melodies over walking lines, and the absence of a clearly defined central pulse opens up the music in thrilling ways."Meyer, Bill. Montreal Parade review. Down Beat June 11: page 77. Print.
The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins states "Straddling the line between unfettered freedom and the traditional conventions of implied structure, The Rempis Percussion Quartet covers a wide range on Montreal Parade, demonstrating the continuing validity of their freewheeling approach with compelling fervor."Collins, Troy. "Montreal Parade" review at All About Jazz
In her review for JazzTimes, Lyn Horton says "This music demonstrates how to balance rhythm, tunefulness and sound-making in the art of improvisation."Horton, Lyn. Montreal Parade review at JazzTimes
