I'll Close My Eyes (album)

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow described Murphy's recordings for Muse Records as "...among the most rewarding of his career", adding that "His eccentric improvising is an acquired taste worth gaining...An interesting outing that sounds quite contemporary while tied to the jazz tradition."
