JazzTimes - 8/97, p.106 "...the preeminent example of the art and architecture of the ensemble, at once spare and rich in its sound....Rova's nearly 20-years of working the vein make them a formidable musical presence..."
Option - 11-12/96, p.126 "...The precision and intricacy of the group's playing shines even in the more austere pieces....they often sound like one big horn instead of four separate ones....exciting music that takes in blues, symphonies, marches, swing and other things and turns them into fascinating shapes..."
