Transcription
Critical reception
Peter Watrous of The New York Times wrote "...the composition, full of bursts of melodies and winding ribbons of notes, was often overwhelmed by long improvisations. Mr. Blanchard's group is exceptionally aware of dynamics, and during the suite he and the band managed to impart, through long quiet sections, a real sense of tranquillity."[7] A reviewer of Billboard stated, "Leading trumpeter Terence Blanchard's newest set is a strong, searching quintet date, featuring Kenny Garrett, who makes his tenor debut."[8] Brian Morton and Richard Cook in The Penguin Jazz Guide: The History of the Music in the 1000 Best Albums called the album "wonderful".[9]
