Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This is a fascinating and very listening disc of solo improvisations, one that is likely never to find a wide enough audience for its brilliant accomplishment on tenor saxophone."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz describes the results of his first full programme of tenor playing as "extraordinary, music of intense focus and a fearsome weight and intensity of tone."
