The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick stated "The two had a long and fruitful relationship and these pieces give a good idea why: both possessed probing intelligence that enabled them to dig deep into each other's individual musical languages, unearthing surprising common ground as well as acknowledging differences". [4] In JazzTimes Bill Shoemaker wrote "Teitelbaum is in a class by himself when it comes to improvising with synthesizers. His ability to morph from horn-like voice to viscous texture, to melt between foreground and background, and to incite inspired improvisations from Braxton (especially an alto solo at the end of "Crossings," which unravels from desultory lyricism to an eerie reed effect), is thoroughly engaging". [5]

JazzTimes is an American magazine devoted to jazz. Published 10 times a year, it was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1970 by Ira Davidson Sabin (1928–2018) as a newsletter called Radio Free Jazz. Sabine founded Radio Free Jazz to complement his Washington, D.C. record store that he founded in 1962. As a newsletter, it informed consumers of the latest jazz releases and provided jazz broadcasters with news and backstories related to playlists.

Personnel

Moog modular synthesizer

Moog modular synthesizers are modular synthesizers developed by the American electronic instrument pioneer Robert Moog. Many different models were manufactured by R.A. Moog Co. from 1965–80.

Micromoog

The Moog model 2090 Micromoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer produced by Moog Music from 1975–79.

Sopranino saxophone musical instrument

The sopranino saxophone is one of the smallest members of the saxophone family. It is tuned in the key of E♭, and sounds an octave higher than the alto saxophone. The sopranino saxophone has a sweet sound and although it is one of the least common of the saxophones in regular use today, it is still being produced by several of the major musical manufacturing companies. Due to their small size, sopraninos are not usually curved like other saxophones. Orsi, however, does make curved sopranino saxophones.
