"Die Platte versammelt fast ausschließlich Kompositionen und sogar einige Arrangements des Meisters selbst, die Hauptlast der Soli tragen die derzeit wohl besten amerikanischen Posaunisten Turre und Robin Eubanks. Dazu kommen knackige, perfekt ausbalancierte Ensemblesätze, bei denen der instrumentale Glanz nie den Swing vergessen lässt." (S. Arndt in Jazzthetik 6 / 03)
