Reception

The All About Jazz review by Jack Bowers awarded the album 4 stars and simply states: "a forceful one-two punch, initiated by Magris and Colby and completed by his sure-handed trio." ^[1] The JazzWax review by Mark Myers states: "Magris's new album is truly special, particularly the way in which the two different formats were combined, leap-frogging over each other. And Magris's playing is lush and on point and his technique stellar, shifting from bop to a more introspective and moody feel.." ^[2]
