The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Three of the greatest baritone saxophonists of the post-1970 period teamed up for this jam-session date ... The music is often quite exciting (the horns battle each other to a draw) and is easily recommended to fans of the bebop baritone sax". [3]

The baritone saxophone or "bari sax" is one of the larger members of the saxophone family, only being smaller than the bass, contrabass and subcontrabass saxophones. It is the lowest-pitched saxophone in common use. The baritone saxophone uses a mouthpiece, reed, and ligature in order to produce sound. It is larger than the tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, which are the other commonly found members of the family. The baritone saxophone is commonly used in classical music such as concert band, chamber music, military bands, jazz. It also is occasionally employed in marching bands, though less frequently than other saxophones due to its size and weight.
