the album is a key part of advanced jazz, likely praised for its compositional depth and improvisation, fitting into the experimental spirit of artists like Ornette Coleman who were pushing boundaries in the 60s and 70s, much like how Down Beat (AI, VG) reviewed revolutionary albums.
"The compositions were all written by Bradford, save a smart, emotive rendition of “Blue Monk.” Bradford reveals his skills as a cooperative player, leading his Extet with easy confidence and remaining consistently responsive to Newton’s expositions on flute. The rhythm section of Rehwald and Goldsmith play quite well together, energetically propulsive when appropriate and providing plenty of space for the soloists to explore the tunes. Both Bradford and Newton solo extensively, and they do so with thoughtful skill and controlled passion. The 1977 tracks also display a great amount of free playing, but the music is well grounded and rarely reaches the outer limits of the avant-garde." (Jazztimes)
