Chicago Tenor Duets

Reception

In a review for All About Jazz, Derek Taylor states "Each man bends to the other’s vernacular with Parker doling out some of his most linear and lyrical jazz phrasings in years and McPhee mimicking the creased multiphonics and split tones that are his partner’s regular sonic nomenclature."

In a multiple review for JazzTimes John Litweller says "If the disc has meandering passages, there are also plenty of successes in which lyricism and complexity twine (and for all their stylistic extremes, there are lyrical strains in both players)."
