In a review for AllMusic, Richard S. Ginell called the recording "one of the more individual solo albums in the Maybeck series," and stated that Akiyoshi "has her own distinct ideas" and "is especially compelling when her hands fly off in multiple directions." [1]
Toshiko Akiyoshi is an American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader.
Since her debut recording for Norgran Records in 1954, jazz pianist, composer, arranger and big band leader Toshiko Akiyoshi has recorded continually – almost exclusively as a leader of small jazz combos and of her big bands – averaging one studio album release per year for well over 50 years. She has also recorded several live albums in solo, small combo and big band settings, including three big band concert videos. Akiyoshi has released multiple albums for Victor / BMG, Nippon Columbia, Toshiba, Discomate, Nippon Crown and other labels in Japan and for Norgran / Verve, RCA, Columbia / Sony, Concord and her own Ascent label in the US. All of her big band recordings and nearly all of her other early works have been re-issued on CDs over the years.
