The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "This set has plenty of stimulating and unpredictable interplay by the two giants (both of whom sound as if they have large ears). Music & Arts deserves thanks from the jazz world for making these noncommercial sounds available" [3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "This is not a great astonishment, not is it as good as it might be. Berne's curious bluester often overpowers what otherwise seems impressively vivid and reciprocal music-making." [4]
All compositions by Marilyn Crispell except as indicated
Marilyn Crispell is an American jazz pianist and composer. Scott Yanow described her as "a powerful player... who has her own way of using space... She is near the top of her field." Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote: "Hearing Marilyn Crispell play solo piano is like monitoring an active volcano... She is one of a very few pianists who rise to the challenge of free jazz." In addition to her own extensive work as a soloist or bandleader, Crispell is also known as a longtime member of saxophonist Anthony Braxton's quartet in the 1980s and '90s.
